The two eldest sons, Fritz and Ernst, decide to sail around the island to see if there’s any civilization nearby. The siblings stumble upon a band of pirates who have a man and his granddaughter, Roberta, held captive. Fritz and Ernst set Roberta free, but she’s dressed as a boy to keep her identity a secret from the pirates.
