The story follows Jim Hawkins, a young boy who lives at the Admiral Benbow Inn with his mother.

After the death of a mysterious sea captain, Billy Bones, Jim finds a map that leads to the treasure of Captain Flint.

Along with Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, Jim sets sail on the Hispaniola to find the treasure, unaware that many of the crew members are former pirates of Captain Flint's ship, led by the cunning Long John Silver.
