What happens

George Valentine receives an urgent letter from Mrs. Jensen asking him to find her husband Clyde, an explorer and anthropologist who traveled to Cortez Island over a week ago to search for pirate treasure based on an old map. With no word from him since he left and no regular communication from the island, George travels to the remote location to investigate his disappearance.

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.
