The story

In the early 18th century, Governor Weatherby Swann and his daughter Elizabeth sail aboard HMS Dauntless, captained by Lieutenant Norrington.

Norrington proposes to Elizabeth atop a cliff, but she faints and falls into the ocean due to her tight-fitting corset, causing the medallion she is carrying to emit a pulse.

Barbossa explains that the medallion is one of 882 cursed gold pieces used to bribe Hernán Cortés to stop his slaughter of the Aztecs.
