C04S01 The smugglers
Synopsis
The TARDIS arrives on the coastline of Seventeenth Century Cornwall. Whilst exploring, the Doctor, Ben and Polly meet a church warden called Joseph Longfoot, who passes on to the Doctor a cryptic rhyme leading to the whereabouts of the hidden treasure known as Avery's Gold.
Pirates led by Captain Pike and his henchman Cherub are also searching for the treasure, and having killed Longfoot, they frame Ben and Polly for his murder, and kidnap the Doctor.
The Doctor, Ben and Polly have to use all their skills to prevent the pirates from obtaining the treasure, however, is this a task too great for them?

...of note:
In episode one, Joseph Longfoot in reciting Deadman's secret key to the Doctor gets one of the names wrong: "Smallwood, Ringwood, Gurney."
With Longfoot having been killed shortly after the Doctor leaves, it is the magic of television that allows the Doctor to remember and locate the correct names in episode 3: "Ringwood, Smallbeer, Gurney and Deadman."
