Treasure Island

BBC adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel. When Captain Billy Bones (Jack Watson) arrives at Daniel Hawkins (Terry Scully)'s inn, the ailing Hawkins is glad to receive some money from the old sailor. It transpires that Bones has in his possession the map to some hidden treasure in the Bahamas, which he entrusts to Daniel's young son, Jim (Ashley Knight).

When Bones' former shipmates, led by Long John Silver (Alfred Burke), arrive to claim the map, Jim escapes. With the help of a local doctor and magistrate, he sets sail for the tropics to discover Treasure Island.
