AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Radio serial.

'David Beckett’s problems were much of his own making. Reckless, impatient, attractive to women, but surprisingly naïve, he finds himself agreeing to take a gang of criminals and a stolen load of gold bullion from England to Tangiers aboard his ocean-going yacht.'

Source: Grace Gibson Productions.
