The
TARDIS materializes on the wild and remote part of 17th Century Cornish
coast. Pirates led by Captain Samuel Pike are searching for hidden
treasure, while smugglers masterminded by the local Squire are trying
to sell contraband. The Doctor unwittingly receives a clue to the
treasure's whereabouts from the churchwarden - just before a pirate murders
him. The Doctor is captured by Captain Pike and reveals the location
of the treasure to Captain Pike before managing to escape. The
Pirates uncover the treasure at the Church just as the Militia arrive,
after being summoned by Revenue Officer Josiah Blake. A fight breaks
out with the Pirates being either killed or captured, during which the
Doctor and crew makes their escape in the TARDIS.
