Riff-Piraten (1939)
An Cornwalls Küste treiben Piraten ihr Unwesen: Mit falschen Zeichen vom Leuchtturm lassen sie Schiffe an den Felsen auflaufen, deren wertvolle Fracht sie bergen. Von alledem ahnt die junge Waise Mary aber noch nichts, als sie ihre Tante Patience und ihren Mann Joss in der verruchten Kneipe Jamaica Inn aufsucht, wo sie nach dem Tod der Mutter fortan leben möchte. Doch schon bald findet sie heraus, dass ihr Onkel der Anführer der Piraten ist, der die Kneipe als Knotenpunkt für seine dubiosen Geschäfte missbraucht. Als Mary das Bandenmitglied James Trehearne vor der Lynchjustiz rettet und dieser sich als verdeckter Regierungsagent entpuppt, gerät die junge Frau in ein gefährliches Abenteuer, bei der auch der ehrenwerte Richter Sir Humphrey Pengallan eine doppelte Rolle spielt.
