Line 8 ⟶ 18:
The Doctor inadvertently hears a rhyme telling the location of the treasure and is kidnapped by the pirates. He escapes, but is eventually forced to tell them the rhyme anyway, and the treasure is found - just as the feared "Revenue Men" turn up with the local militia. In the ensuing fight, most of the pirates are killed and the travelers make their escape.

== Tropes ==
* [[Buried Treasure]]
* [[Dude in Distress]]: Yep, this is the first time the Doctor gets explicitly kidnapped (it's even commented upon many times), but it won't be the last.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: The Squire is more than happy to smuggle goods to get rich and avoid paying the taxes on them, but he draws the line at piracy and murder.
* [[Hook Hand]]: Captain Pike
* [[I Call It "Vera"]]: Cherub's knife 'Tommy Tickler'
* [[Missing Episode]]: Ironically, the only surviving visual portion of the episodes are the violent scenes, thanks to overseas censorship.
* [[Pirate Booty]]
Line 22 ⟶ 32:
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]
