Bristol in the 18th century: Jim Hawkins lived in his parents' old inn. He has to help early and at the age of 17 he doesn't even know the large port city of Bristol.
It begins with a crash between the landlord Trelawney, who has decided to equip a ship for a treasure hunt, and captain Smollet, who was hired for the trip.
The captain gives the team shore leave. When he casts off Jim jumps into a boat and is taken to the island. There he meets an overgrown islander, Ben Gunn.
