Pirates are very bad for business. And the terrible monster Davy Jones is now working for Beckett. So the Pirate Lords of the world must fight these enemies together—but the Pirate Lords have never been friends. Elizabeth Swann is fighting on the side of the pirates. But Will Turner, the love of her life, has other plans— to save his father from Davy Jones’s ship. For this, he needs Jack Sparrow’s fast ship, the Black Pearl, but the Pearl is at the bottom of the ocean with its captain. Who is a true friend? Who is an enemy? In this new adventure, it is difficult to tell. This is the story of the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. The first, The Curse of the Black Pearl, was made in 2003. The second movie, Dead Man’s Chest, won prizes when it was first shown in 2006. A t World’s End was a great success in 2007. In these movies, Johnny Depp is Captain Jack Sparrow, Orlando Bloom is Will Turner, and Keira Knightley is Elizabeth Swann. All three stories are now Penguin Readers. * East India Trading Company: The East India Company (1600—1858) in fact did business in the East Indies (South Asia).
