A one-legged sailor (Leo Carrillo) has a map he believes will lead him to Captain Morgan's long lost treasure. Morgan Island is currently owned by the broke Bill Martin (Dick Foran). Tobias Clump offers to split the twenty-million dollar treasure with Martin but after an expert says the map is a fake, Martin decides to make money be charging $50 a person to spend the night in the haunted castle and looking for treasure. Someone starts murdering Bill Martin's guests.

Leo Carrillo is probably best known as Cisco Kid's sidekick Puncho.

Included in "Universal Horror Classic Movie Archive" but like The Black Cat, Horror Island is actually a mystery comedy rather than a horror movie.

Uhm it's Pancho...not Puncho.Still knowing the problems he and Duncan Renaldo had maybe Cisco wanted to give him a Puncho or two and vice versa.

I like what Zacherle said about this movie: "It's on an island and it's pretty horrible!"
