Production by Trevor Hill
Simon Corlett has fulfilled his promise to Lieutenant O'Neill, the Jacobite agent, to take the sealed packet to the mysterious 'Old Dog Lad' - that is, to the landlord of the Fighting Cocks inn. He has outwitted the evil Captain Skillicorn and Colonel Charteris. Helped along his way by apparent chance encounters with friends such as Jock Macready, the Scots pedlar, he has come at last to Myerscough Lodge. Now he is to be taken to Sunderland Point, but Simon is puzzled - there is something strange about that place, as if I had seen it in a dream.'
