Pirates ARRR Us begins with the crew of the S.S. Wood Belly singing their pirate ditty.  Cap'm insists that they should look for treasure and off to visit a deserted island they go.  Although convinced that treasure is to be found on the island, Crow, the first mate, wants nothing to do with going ashore until he is sure that no creatures--especially Giant Sand Snarks--inhabit the island. As they attempt to investigate the presence of snarks, the pirates, including Cap'm, reveal that none of them can read and must enlist the help of the audience to even find out what the snarks might look like.  The pirates Minnow Bait and Pete argue throughout the search for the treasure, but are always the best of friends even when they have to trek all over the island following the map to the treasure's hiding place.  The treasure is finally found (with lots of audience help) and everyone goes away with the feeling that Reading is truly a Treasure!

Lessons include the importance of reading.
