Treasure Island
In a seaside town in England, young Jim Hawkins keeps the Admiral Benbow Inn together with his mother. His adventure begins the moment a map to Treasure Island falls into his hands. Setting sail after the treasure with Dr. Livesey and the others, what awaits him is the harsh law of the sea, a band of merry seafaring men like John Silver — and betrayal. Through the struggle against the pirates who had slipped aboard disguised as crewmen, Jim comes to learn how very differently these men live their lives: Silver, Gray, and the rest.

Ep 1Billy the terrible has arrived!
A mysterious lodger turns up at the Admiral Benbow Inn, which Jim runs with his mother. Calling himself Billy, the man seems frightened of something and drinks like a fish. When Jim grows suspicious, Billy asks him to keep watch for a one‑legged man. Who is this one‑legged man, and what is Billy so afraid of?
Ep 2Black Dog… What's That?!
A man called Black Dog, an old shipmate, comes looking for Billy — but the moment he spots him, he attacks. In the scuffle, Billy collapses from a stroke. When Dr. Livesey rolls up Billy's sleeve to treat him, he finds a pirate's tattoo — Billy was a pirate all along…!
Ep 3The Crutch Comes Down
A man calling himself Blind Pew appears before Billy and hands him the Black Spot — the pirates' notice of severance, a sentence of death. Terrified to learn the one‑legged man will come at ten that night, Billy keeps drinking until a stroke finally kills him. Jim is left stunned — and the appointed hour draws nearer by the minute.
Ep 4The Treasure Map Is Found!
Pirates led by Black Dog and Pew storm the Admiral Benbow Inn. Desperate to protect the package Billy entrusted to him, Jim fights them off with all his might. Just as he's cornered, the rescue soldiers Dr. Livesey sent arrive! Safe at last, Jim discovers, inside Billy's package…
Ep 5I'm Off, Mother!
When the town's squire, Trelawney, and Dr. Livesey learn that Jim has the map to Treasure Island, they resolve to set out after the treasure. Jim longs to go too, but the thought of leaving his mother alone keeps him from speaking up. His mother, however, has already sensed how her son feels.
Ep 6Friend or Foe: John Silver
Dr. Livesey had asked a one‑legged man — who runs an eatery called the Spyglass in Bristol — to arrange the crew. This one‑legged man, who calls himself Silver, says he'll join the ship as its cook. Jim suspects Silver may be the very one‑legged man Billy warned of — and just then, he spots Black Dog slipping into the Spyglass!
