"Adventure on Cheviot"
A new serial play written by Winifred Finlay
3: "Black Adam's Cave"
Produced by Herbert Smith
Young Richard Norton, his elder brother Paul, and Uncle Bill set off for Newcastle for what was meant to be a quiet walk along the Border to Cheviot, where they were to meet their mother and sister Judith. On the way there they were given a lift by a spiv-like character who called himself Flash Baker. At Windy Gyle, Ricky fell foul of a young Sects boy, Jo Kerr. As Ricky said, "It was something about an old Border feud millions of years ago." After being accused of burglary by their new neighbour, Mr. Russell of Blackchaggs Pele (an old man with a passion for Druid remains), their next shock came when the young Scots boy turned out to be the old man's granddaughter, Joan.
