En ce début du XIXe siècle, la taverne de la Jamaïque a une très mauvaise réputation.

Sir Humphrey, le juge de paix local, dirige le groupe et l'informe du passage des navires. N'ayant plus de famille en Irlande, Mary Yellard rejoint sa tante Patience, mariée à Joss, l'aubergiste de la taverne de la Jamaïque. Elle découvre la bande de naufrageurs qui occupe les lieux. Jem Trehearne, un nouveau membre, doit être pendu après une dispute. Mary parvient à le délivrer et tous deux s'échappent de cet endroit sinistre. Où iront-ils se réfugier ?

Immortalisée par la silhouette d'Alfred Hitchcock apparaissant sur l'écran au son de la Marche funèbre d'une marionnette de Charles Gounod, cette série est en fait une anthologie de petites histoires noires, à la chute souvent inattendue. Au début de chaque épisode et avant d'en faire la présentation, toujours teintée d'humour noir, Alfred Hitchcock saluait les téléspectateurs d'un sévère « Bonsoir ». Il revenait en épilogue pour exposer sa morale de l'histoire. (source : Wikipédia)
