content

Steve Walker is the new coach of the Godolphin College athletics team. Here in Godolphin the evil pirate Edward Teach, known as Captain Blackbeard , is said to have lived centuries ago. When Steve buys an ancient bed warmer at auction, he has no idea that its handle contains the magic book of the witch Aldetha (formerly Blackbeard's tenth wife), who was burned at the stake.

When Steve accidentally sits on the handle of the bed warmer in his accommodation, it breaks in two. Steve finds the magic book and recites a spell with the result that the ghost of Captain Blackbeard appears and now follows his new “master” everywhere. Since only Steve can see and talk to the hard-drinking ghost, people think he's crazy.

Steve wants to get rid of the disturbing ghost. There is only one way to do this: Captain Blackbeard has to do a good deed. An opportunity for this soon arises for him when the annual college championships are coming up. Blackbeard begins, invisible to the audience, literally "under the arms" of the notorious losers from Godolphin College and lead them to an unexpected victory. Blackbeard succeeds in preventing a seaman's home, which is run by several old ladies, descendants of his crew, from falling to a lender. After he has shown himself to his descendants once, he takes the rowboat to his waiting crew in the otherworldly life.

Reviews

"Peter Ustinov makes the film a comedic pleasure."

- Lexicon of international film

"Most amusing."

- Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung , Essen

“It was Stevenson's eleventh Disney film, but it did not match the success of the 1964 blockbuster ' Mary Poppins '. Thanks to the comedic talent of lead actor Peter Ustinov, Stevenson managed to create a family-friendly entertainer, whose unspeakable German title, however, seems pseudo-comical at best. "

- The great TV feature film film dictionary.

"[...] silly spooky clothes without much joke."

- Rating 1 star - weak - Adolf Heinzlmeier and Berndt Schulz

“An imaginatively curious joke with the brilliant Peter Ustinov in the lead role. Warmly recommended to everyone from eight to eighty who like to have a legitimate laugh! "

- Protestant film observer, review No. 375/1968
