In 18th century Cornwall, Squire Trevenyan a magistrate to a sleepy fishing village, is blackmailed by a vicious smuggler, Black John, into keeping quiet about his murderous gang’s shipwrecking racket. The squire’s son deepens the dilemma when he attempts to stand up for his honour, his father’s and that of the girl he loves whose own father, a petty thief, has been sentenced to a penal colony at the insistence of Black John. The daughter engages the help of a local highwayman, an honourable thief who watches over those he has robbed to ensure their safe return home, to stop Black John once and for all.
