In this delightful tale echoing vintage voyage literature and pirates’ stories, the Treasure Hunting is the ongoing focus; here secular legends merge with contemporary fiction in a plot sprinkled with traditional old English dialogues and exquisite vernacular expressions otherwise forgotten in the modern days’ language. From a fictional account of a tropical mission with targeted discoveries of precious findings; we are then led to witness consecutive robberies in a seize-and-chase chain of events, leading to a traditional re-enactment of an imaginary English seaside town resembling real ones with similar annual celebrations like the Pirates’ Week, where camouflaged characters in disguise roam around unguarded causing havoc among the merry crowds and wealthy locals. Funnily enough, the ‘rascals’ are not what they seem and through careful investigation we are led to a grand finale in which justice and the law of karma will prevail in an agreeable, thoroughly entertaining fashion.
