1939 108 min 213 vues

En ce début du XIXe siècle, la taverne de la Jamaïque a une très mauvaise réputation. Ses clients ont la fâcheuse habitude de cacher la lumière du phare par temps de tempête et, ainsi, de faire échouer les navires sur les récifs, particulièrement nombreux à cet endroit de la côte de Cornouailles. 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 ?
