Bones shares this tale with Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop), a young boy who is the new custodian of the Admiral Benbow Inn, where Bones has been hiding. Before Jim can hear the entire story, Bones suffers a heart attack and passes away, dying in Jim's arms. Little does Jim know that this event sets off a chain reaction of events that will change his life forever. The Admiral Benbow is soon attacked by a group of ruthless pirates, who, in their haste to plunder the inn, inadvertently provide Jim with an opportunity to escape. Along with Benjamina Gunn, Dr. Livesey, and her father, Admiral Benbow's cook, and other locals, Jim and a handful of sailors set out to find the treasure that Bones had hidden before his death. The group boards the Hispaniola, a sturdy ship crewed by the rugged Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and several sailors. They also bring along Long John Silver (Tim Curry), a cunning pirate who pretends to have lost his leg while trying to save a child from certain doom. As the Muppet gang embarks on their perilous journey across the seas, they begin to experience the harsh realities of life at sea and the cutthroat world of piracy.
