He was a member of the Royal Fleet, and he got the task to find the lost treasure of the King. He reached the island where the treasure should be, but he wanted to use the treasure for his selfish reasons. But suddenly he heard a cannon shot, and assumed there was someone else on the island.
He assembled his crew, but no one volunteered to go into the jungle and find out whos hiding inside. But there was a gorilla, named Bunji, who always wanted to be in the navy. He ordered the gorilla to go and find them, then he ordered his crew to dig up the ground and find the treasure. They found it succesfully.
Later in his ship he organized a mutiny against the captain, Hawthorn, to not bring back the treasure to England, rather share it within the crew. Hawthorn stayed loyal to the King. Smythe also set a trap inside the jungle. He dug a pit, and if someone falls in it, a tiger will eat him.
That night, he heard the roar of a tiger, meaning someone had fallen into his trap. He ordered his dim-witted first mate, Yeoman Sniple, to prepare for capturing them.
The next day, when he prepared for the attack against the intruders on the island, but suddenly Bunji came back with a woman named Elizabeth who said she had been stranded on the island with her family for two years, waiting for someone to help. He pretended to be helpful, but when they are on his ship he puts her with Hawthorn to the plank. But suddenly he hears three cannon shots, wich means that the British Fleet is near, so he need to get away. He orders to abandon the ship leavint Elizabeth and Hawthorn in the ship. He takes the trearure to the shore with Sniple via boat.

Elizabeth's husband, Johann, appeared with their son, Fritz, to fight them, Hawthorn joins them also. A fight broke out between the two groups, but suddenly the real British Fleet arrived, led by Admiral Nesbit. Smythe and his crew were forced to surrender.
