This is another weak episode, the MWC cast playing pirates to little comic effect, but at least it's the last one to feature annoying brat Seven, so there's that.
Unable to sleep, the obnoxious kid asks Peggy to read him a story, so she picks a steamy romance novel called A Ship Called Passion. In the story, Peggy plays Princess Scarlett, who is captured by Captain Courage, played by Al. Kelly is the ship's navigator, Bud is hunchbacked first mate Fluvio, Marcy is the cabin boy/girl, and Jefferson is dashing Prince Paco. Steve Rhoades also appears as singing pirate Rubio the Cruel.
Despite plenty of scope for hilarity on the high seas, Peggy and the Pirates doesn't deliver the laughs, the gags being weak and predictable. One imagines that the makers had a pirate ship set made available to them and hastily wrote a script to suit.
