A seaman with intact legs shows up frightening Billy - who drinks far too much rum - into a stroke and Billy tells Jim that his former shipmates covet the contents of his sea chest. After a visit from yet another man Billy has another stroke and dies Jim and his mother (his father has also died just a few days before) unlock the sea chest finding some money a journal and a map. The local physician Dr. Livesey deduces that the map is of an island where a deceased pirate - Captain Flint - buried a vast treasure. The district squire Trelawney proposes buying a ship and going after the treasure taking Livesey as ship's doctor and Jim as cabin boy....
