What is Captain Abdul's Pirate School about?

Pickles, a young artist who prefers painting to pirating, is sent by his father to Captain Abdul's Pirate School to toughen up. Under the tutelage of the fearsome Captain Abdul, Pickles and his classmates learn the pirate way of life, including treasure hunting and speaking like a pirate. When Pickles uncovers a plot to kidnap the pupils, he leads a mutiny, and the students set sail on their own adventures, allowing Pickles to pursue his passion for painting.
