The Pirate

On a Caribbean isle in the early 19th century, sheltered young Manuela (Judy Garland) comes to believe that traveling circus clown Serafin (Gene Kelly) is in reality "Mack the Black," a notorious pirate. Serafin realizes that the surest way to win Manuela's heart is to impersonate the romantic buccaneer, and this is what he does...nearly getting himself hanged in the process.
