    Storyline

    Edit
    In 1747, lecherous Captain Lafarge, a man who loves God, women and gold - but not necessarily in that order, visits the lush colonial Caribbean island of St. Joseph's, that's become rather prosperous after the events of Dragonard (1987). Richard Abdee is now a free man living a peaceful life there, when he's offered the job of governor by the evil temptress, Arabella, who's now turned her affections toward African slaves, which is strictly forbidden. However, Abdee is soon framed for murder and has to start a new rebellion with the help of Naomi against the vile Captain Shanks and the villainous British redcoat sergeant, who reinstates the use of the notorious "Dragonard" whip.

    Clarification
    I haven't watched this for a long time, and trust me, the 7-star rating is solely for camp value--this movie is awful in a very entertaining way, right up there with "Drum" as far as its genre goes But the only reason I'm posting is to clarify: This is NOT a predecessor to "Dragonard." They are exactly the same movie, just under different titles. It's rare that IMBD makes such a big error, but I guess it's a testament to how badly this film flopped, and how little it's been seen since. Anyway, it's a major tasteless hoot if you are into unintentional comedy of a ripped-bodice, forbidden-plantation-desires-as-slaves-revolt type. With terribly overripe or wooden acting down the line, it's not your run-of-the-mill bad movie, but an underappreciated bad-movie classic, practically the "Showgirls" of "Mandingo" knockoffs.
