The map winds up in Jim's hands and he embarks on a high-seas adventure with Doctor Livesay, Squire Trelawney, and his new friend...a fine, upstanding fellow who goes by the name of Long John Silver. When Silver turns treacherous and Jim's ship is threatened, it's up to Jim to save the ship and his shipmates, not to mention the treasure!
