Will and Elizabeth's wedding day is sadly interrupted by a Lord from England. Using the threat of death, he blackmails Will into searching for Captain Jack and a certain item in his possession. With only a moment to say goodbye to his betrothed, Will is quickly off in search of the pirate to save his bride-to-be Elizabeth from the gallows.

In return for Jack's cooperation, Will is tricked into sailing aboard the legendary Flying Dutchman. On the haunted ship, Will comes face-to-face with its gruesome captain, the legendary Davy Jones. In apparent foreshadowing, The half man / half squid appears curiously interested in obtaining Will's soul and having him stay on the Dutchman forever.

Along the way, the film presents interviews with celebrity crossword puzzlers such as Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, Jon Stewart, Ken Burns, Mike Mussina and the Indigo Girls, who reveal their process, insight and the allure of the game.

In addition to deconstructing this uniquely American institution, Wordplay takes us though the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, an annual competition founded by Shortz.
