Bobby (Seth Adkins) is a young boy who lives on a farm with his mother, Glenna (Dee Wallace-Stone), and grandfather (Charles Napier). Given his relative isolation, Bobby must use his imagination to entertain himself, and he's thrilled when an adventure straight out of one of his books arrives on his doorstep in the form of daring swashbuckler Jezebel Jack (Tim Curry). After other pirates pop up, however, Bobby and Jack must defend the farmhouse from the displaced marauders.
