What happens

Smuggler's Bay is a British period television drama series which aired on BBC One in 6 episodes in 1964. It is an adaptation of the 1898 adventure novel Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner. No recordings of this production are known to exist. According to star Frazer Hines, the title was changed due to a perceived conflict with contemporaneous BBC series Moonstrike made by the same department. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
