A straggling gang of mischievous buffoons are washed up amongst the flotsam onto the wild shores of Chesil Beach, and conspire to spin this compelling yarn of a young orphan boy clashing with both smugglers and excise men in his quest to find Blackbeard’s cursed diamond and win the hand of his beloved Grace.
