Beth (Angela Punch McGregor) appears in the 1980 movie The Island. She is part of an ancient race of pirates who have been living in the Caribbean for centuries. They have been left undisturbed as they kill any outsiders that they meet.

But recently there have been a few outsiders that have been allowed to live. The pirates have been inbreeding for centuries and are now so inbred that the males are unable to breed.

To perpetuate their tribe the pirates resort to capturing outsiders. They take children and brainwash them and they capture men to breed with their pirate women.
