The Red Corsair is the third episode of the animated series, The Black Corsair.

Plot[]

As the Black Corsair, Moko, Carmaux and Rum cross the little town of Maracaibo, they get to the square where the hanged men are, and decide to take away the body of the Red Corsair in the middle of the night. They retrace their steps and enter a tavern. The tavern is full of customers; there is a group of Basques who are drinking and laughing about the death of the Red Corsair and his mates. Carmaux cannot resist the provocation, and is on the verge of starting a fight, when a nobleman, Don Gamara, breaks in from the next room asking the Black Corsair to give his personal particulars. The Black Corsair warns Don Gamara that if his name was revealed to him, that he would have to take that secret to his grave. The nobleman insists, thus the Black Corsair whispers his identity in Don Gamara's ear.

A duel inevitably ensues, and the Black Corsair runs through the nobleman with his sword before the latter is able to cry out the identity of the man facing him. The three men leave the tavern, and head for the square of the hanged men. Moko shows his valour by knocking out a Spanish sentry who is on duty. The body of the Red Corsair is carefully wrapped in his brother's black cloak, while Moko finds an abandoned cart nearby, and uses it to transport the body. As they are leaving, the four Basques who where in the tavern lay an ambush; the Black Corsair and Carmaux confront them, while Moko is told to leave the town with the body of the Red Corsair. A bloody strife with the Basques follows… The Basques are indomitable fighters, but they get the worst of it, and only one wounded Basque manages to get away.

The noise of the street fight has wakes the inhabitants of Maracaibo; they light their lamps and look curiously out of their windows. The death of the Count at the tavern has not gone unobserved, and numerous patrols are sent to check the streets. At one point, trapped between two Spanish patrols, the Black Corsair and Carmaux get into a little house belonging to a notary. Having tied up the unlucky owner of the house, the two pirates hide inside the house and wait. They expect that, not having found anyone in the streets, the patrols will retire.
