Adapted for broadcasting by Edward Mills
2 - 'The Pirates' Cave'
Produced by Herbert Smith
Mumfie, the toy elephant, and his friend Scarecrow have been taken to the seaside by Selina, the little girl to whom they belong. One day Selina was rowed out to sea by a fierce-looking sailor. A storm broke, and when the two friends rowed out themselves to try to find Selina, their boat capsized and they fell down under the sea. There they met the Admiral's wife and children and heard how the Admiral disappeared mysteriously long, long ago. Next morning, after an exciting journey through tunnels and caves, they suddenly found themselves surrounded by tall ships-pirate ships.
