In 1820 the Jamaica Inn houses the clandestine rural headquarters of a gang of cut-throats and thieves, led by innkeeper Joss Merlyn. They have become wreckers who are responsible for shipwrecks in which they extinguish coastal warning beacons, causing ships to run aground on the rocky Cornish coast. They then kill the surviving sailors and steal their cargo.One evening, a young Irishwoman, Mary Yellan, is dropped off by coach near the inn, at the home of the local squire and justice of the peace, Sir Humphrey Pengallan. Despite Pengallan's warnings, she intends to live at Jamaica Inn with her late mother's sister Patience, the wife of Joss Merlyn. ・・・・・・・・・・
