Ben and Polly escape to the church crypt, where they meet Blake, the Revenue man. The Innkeeper and the Squire are smugglers. The Squire is tricked into revealing his secrets to Captain Pike. Slaughter of the villagers seems inevitable as smugglers and pirates alike seek after the hidden treasure of the dead pirate Avery. And only the Doctor knows the secret of its location.
