Growing up in the quiet coastal village of Moonfleet in Dorset, John Trenchard dreams of the infamous Blackbeard's treasure - a great diamond stolen when he betrayed the king - and the wealth and happiness it would bring him.

John's search for the treasure gets him involved with local smugglers and forces him into hiding with a price on his head, little guessing the adventures and misfortunes he will face before he sees Moonfleet and the girl he loves again.

The cast includes David Ault, Rob Cattell, Tom Berry, Cynthia Pape, J. T. Turner, Dan Powell, and Leigh Berry.
