The story of a New England boy of colonial days who is kidnapped from an island off the Maine coast by pirates. Among the cruel and bloodthirsty crew he finds one friend, Job Howland, a New Englander who is ready to abandon his reckless career. After a terrible sea fight the two make their escape but Jeremy is recaptured and there is every reason to believe Job dead. His life is now more filled with danger than before but a companion is brought to join him, young Bob Curtis of Delaware, who is held for ransom. In the meantime Job, who has escaped, joins Bob’s father in his search for his son and the two boys are rescued. The pirates are captured, Jeremy returns to his home and the buried treasure for which the pirates had sought is found on the very island from which Jeremy had been taken.
