After the death of her mother, Mary Yellan has gone to live with her Aunt Patience and Uncle Joss at Jamaica Inn, situated amidst the bleak Cornish landscape. Mary has learnt the true nature of her vicious Uncle's business and has found a confidant in the vicar Francis Davey. She discovers that she's attracted to her Uncle's younger brother Jem but is unsure if he's involved with his brother's violent smuggling activities or not and as a result has mixed feelings about him. In this episode Mary takes a trip to Launceston with Jem but it ends unexpectedly.
