SYNOPSIS: Cursed from birth with a disfiguring scaly skin condition, an outcast sailor rejects society and sets himself up as "king" of a small island. Any shipwrecked sailors he finds are enslaved as his subjects. Eventually, he makes the mistake of kidnapping a picnicking noblewoman and killing her companions. Fortunately for him, she's into the whole dom / sub relationship thing, so after a few months of being chained up and raped, she falls in love with him. Unfortunately, she is a noblewoman, so people come looking for her. Cornered by an armed search party, the woman gives birth to Iguana's child. He takes one look at the kid, says "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer like I did," and wades off into the ocean to drown along with the baby.

The least swashbuckling pirate movie ever.
