Piraten Massaker
On the shores of a deserted island, a band of pirates anchors with the intention of digging up a legendary treasure of gold. In their expedition, however, they have made the bill without hooded murderous monks, who populate the island in droves, all intruders, which they get hold of, cruelly slaughter and even eat from the flesh of their enemies. A randomly passing blonde and her conditionally defensive bodyguard round out the well-groomed chaos.
