Description: Scientists: 1837 - the Victorian Era approaches. Worried that his pirates are getting bored with sitting about on tropical beaches and trying to stick enough jellyfish together to make a bouncy castle, the Pirate Captain decides it's time they had an adventure. A chance encounter with the young Charles Darwin leads the Captain and his rag-tag crew from the exotic Galapagos Islands to the fog filled streets of Victorian London, where they encounter grisly murder, vanishing ladies, a diabolical Bishop and the Elephant Man.
Notes: Motion picture tie-in.
