What happens

Henry Morgan, a buccaneer, is nearly killed in a dark Port Royal alley and is rescued by a stranger who refuses to say who he is. The stranger leads Morgan to the Dolphin Tavern, a den of pirates ruled over by Kitty. There Kitty meets Morgan and his companion, and she becomes fixated on an Aztec necklace that Morgan carries, which was taken from a Spanish ship and is valued by the Governor of Cuba. Her attention is drawn to the jewel, and the scene leaves her plotting to win it.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
