Little Wolf and pals set sail for pirate treasure, but first they must contend with a seafaring rival famous for his mastery of disguise. The epistolary format, diverse typefaces, and abundant black-and-white art make the pages fly, but Little Wolf's malapropisms and cloying baby talk and Whybrow's intentional misspellings ("he did not like me going snifful in my hanky") grow tiresome.
