(His- torical mystery ser.) lOmin 16-sd-apply TFC 910 Jh-sh-adult A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production avail- able only to schools "Conflicting theories in regard to Cap- tain Kidd's treasure are here illustrated. We see Kidd in prison in 1701 under sentence of death. He writes a letter to the authorities promising to lead them to his treasure if, in return, they will spare his life. He is hanged, however, and the contents of his letter made public. "Three present-day business men . . . dis- cuss a plan for finding the Kidd gold. One of them says his information will take them to a small island off the coast of Madagascar. A dramatization of the story he tells shows the pirate and his band attacking a ship, finding a treasure chest, burying it. Kidd shoots the two men who know the hiding place, but draws a crude map of the location. The busi- ness man claims to have this map. "Another of the three ment conjectures that Kidd was not a pirate, but had been com- missioned by the King of England, and that his crew mutinied and seized the chest. "It should be useful in stimulating imag- inative writing in high school English classes. It might also be of interest to college stu- dents who are doing historical research."
