Pasha Yunus returns from his tax collecting mission at the service of the Ottoman Fatih Sultan Mehmet (1451-1481), when his ship is attacked and taken by the Black Pirate and his men. Yunus is captured, and loses the treasure he was carrying to the pirates. These pirates are protected by Prince Nikolas of Kos, to plunder the Turkish ships and coastal villages. Fatih Sultan Mehmet orders a courageous sea captain, Kara Murat, to save Yunus and his men - and bring the tax moneys back. On his way, the daring sea captain meets Maria, a female pirate, and he has second thoughts about his mission, as she is beautiful, and seems to fell for him. Kara Murat is ready to turn the risky request down, and to accept the pirates's suggestion to join them and capture the Fatih Sultan. Vargas, a handsome bearded pirate who is in love with Maria, is very upset, and will fight Kara Murat in a duel. Then, there is the Black Pirate and his faithful men to deal with.
