Synopsis: Jim Hawking and his widowed mother run an old inn in western England, and are visited by a pirate on the run, who leaves Jim with an old map. Long John Silver and his band of cutthroat pirates turn up to help search for the treasure. They are in for a surprise, when they find a hilarious old hermit has beaten them to the treasure.
