Blackbeard's Inn, a small hotel on the Carolina coast, is run by the Daughters of the Buccaneers, a group of little old ladies all claiming to be descendants of the notorious Edward Teach, known as Blackbeard. When Steve Walker, the new track coach for Godolphin College, registers at the inn, he learns that the Daughters are desperately trying to pay off their mortgage in order to prevent a takeover by the local gambling czar, Silky Seymour. Encouraged by Jo Anne Baker, a college instructor, Steve helps the old ladies' cause by buying an antique bedwarmer at a charity auction and discovers that it was once owned by Blackbeard's 10th wife. Before being burned as a witch, she had condemned her philandering husband to wander in limbo until he performed one good deed. By accident, Steve conjures up the devilish pirate's spirit and persuades him to help the Daughters. Since Blackbeard is invisible to all but Steve, he easily steals $900 of the mortage money that Jo Anne has raised and places a bet with Silky that Steve's track team will win the upcoming relays. Utilizing his invisible powers, Blackbeard creates havoc among the opposing team and literally hurls the Godolphins to victory; but Silky welshes on the bet and agrees only to return the $900. Steve, relying on Blackbeard's help, storms into Silky's gaming room, slaps down the money at the roulette table, and watches as the pirate helps him win $38,000. Following a confrontation with Silky and his hoods, Steve and Jo Anne hand the money over to the Daughters and save the inn. Suddenly Blackbeard materializes, ritually burns the mortgage, and then--free at last from the curse of his wife--majestically departs.
