What happens

Henry Morgan, a notorious buccaneer, captures a Spanish ship carrying treasure belonging to the Spanish governor of Cuba, Don Pietro Pizarro, including a valuable Aztec necklace. In Port Royal, the serving girl Kitty at the Dalton Tavern becomes fixated on the necklace and promises herself to whoever brings it to her. Meanwhile, Morgan is offered a position by the governor of Jamaica, Sir Thomas Modyford, under terms that he has reason to distrust. The story is part of the Afloat with Henry Morgan series.

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.
