Quick recap

Hiccup finds a coffin drifting at sea. Inside is a man who calls himself Alvin the Poor-but-Honest Farmer and swears he knows where to find the treasure of Grimbeard, the greatest pirate of all and Hiccup's great-great-grandfather. The Hooligans sail to the Isle of the Skullions, open a chest and wake a cloud of dragons. Then the Outcasts, cannibal Vikings, ambush the ship. Hiccup, Fishlegs and Toothless end up trapped under a capsized boat, next to a man who may not be so honest. The only way out leads to the real treasure.
