After being captured from his last adventure, Jack's presence is requested by the King. King George agrees to release Jack in exchange for his service. The King has learned of the Fountain of Youth and wants Jack to find it for him. Jack agrees to the conditions and is set free to journey once again with his crew aboard the Pearl. Along the way he encounters Angelica, who is one of his former lovers.
Angelica tells Jack that her real father is the notorious pirate Blackbeard. Through a series of events which are action packed, Jack is captured and taken aboard Blackbeard's ship where he is held prisoner. Blackbeard wants Jack to lead him to the Fountain of Youth, because he possess two special chalices which are needed for returning his youth to him. The legend states that a mermaids tear must be drunk from the chalice in order to regain youth. Blackbeard wants to capture the mermaid and drink her tear in order to turn back the hands of time. Jack's former partner Barbossa is also part of the adventure to find the legendary fountain, although his quest is separate from that of Blackbeards.
The adventure brings both groups to a mysterious island where they do indeed find a mermaid. Among the crew on Blackbeard's ship is a young man who is also being held against his will. Philip is a missionary who does not want to take part in Blackbeard's quest to regain his youth. Philip goes on the island along with Jack and Angelica, where he ends up falling in love with the captured mermaid. Eventually, the mermaid is tricked into shedding a tear which is captured in the special chalice. Jack, true to his pirate nature goes off on his own on the island where he ends up in strange and often comical situations, which only he could get out of.
