The Doctor and his new companions arrive on the Cornish coast in the
17th Century. The local Squire is involved in smuggling and off the
coast pirates are searching for treasure.
CAPSULE REVIEW
Another "historical" borrowed from classic literature of
the 19th century this time Dr Syn meets Treasure Island. The tapes were
wiped so we can't properly judge this story. The lowest ratings of any
story up to that point may tell its own tale.
