The Pointy Head Lighthouse has been kidnapped and the lighthouse keeper, Billy Buddy, is in a terrible state. He needs the help of Sam Hawkins, Pirate Detective! This second case is a tanglesome teaser for Sam and his creditable crew, Ho and Molly, but Sam has never baulked at a challenge.

When an old briny buddy of Sam's, Long John Saliva, arrives it seems not everything is above board. Will Sam be able to return the Pointy Head Lighthouse to its rightful place? Or will the Scarlet Winkle have his wicked way?
