- Want gas, mister?
- Yeah, fill it up.
Help yourself, will you, please?
To you know how to get
to Blackbeard's Inn at Godolphin?
I'm goin' there myself. I'll show you
the way if you'll give me a lift.
- You're on.
- Thanks.
- Stayin' at the inn?
- Yep.
Mostly old ladies live there.
Salesmen goin' through like to stay
in Ye Jolly Roger down in town.
Got more of a chance
to kick up their heels.
Well, I'm not a salesman. I'm the new
track coach at Godolphin College.
Coach, I'm glad to know you!
My name's Gudger Larkin.
I'm on your track squad.
I'm captain.
Well, well.
Small world, isn't it?
Let's see now, Captain.
I'd guess you were a sprinter, huh?
Golly, no, sir. I'm-I'm as slow
as molasses in January.
- Can you give me a hand, Coach?
- Oh, yeah.
- Say, what is your event, Larkin?
- Oh, I'm the shot putter, sir.
Shot putter? Well, the weight man's
usually the strongest man on the team.
Yes, sir.
That's the inn, Coach.
That's Blackbeard's Inn.
- Did the old pirate really build it?
- Sure.
He got killed in a battle
right out there in the bay.
on the local history.
Wait till you meet the little old
ladies who run the inn.
They're all descendants of Blackbeard's
bloody crew, and they're proud of it.
"Buccaneer Bazaar tonight.
Help save Blackbeard's Inn".
- What does that mean? - Some guy's
trying to have the inn torn down...
but the old ladies are putting up
a pretty good fight.
You sure they haven't started
to tear it down already?
Well, I'll tell you,
it's built mostly of odds and ends.
Timbers of ships
that got wrecked in the bay.
- You can park over there.
- All right.
What's that all about?
Hey, buddy, I...
That's Silky Seymour.
He runs the gambling around here.
- I wouldn't fool with him.- What's
he doing at the old ladies' bazaar?
He's the guy that bought up
their mortgage from the bank.
If the old ladies don't come up
with the loot, out they go.
- This fellow Seymour gets everything
- Just about.
Miss Jeffrey,
have you seen Miss Stowecroft?
This gentleman has a room reservation.
She's outside in a tent
telling fortunes.
- Dean Wheaton.
- What is it?
Sir, I-I'd like you to meet
our new track coach.
Steve Walker, sir. Just arrived.
I believe I'm to report to you
in the morning.
- Uh, Welcome to Godolphin, Mr Walker.
- Thank you very much, sir.
I don't want to seem negative,
but I want to be frank.
I was not in favour
of replacing our former track coach
when he left so informally.
- Oh?
- For some years now, the track team
has done precious little...
to add lustre to the name
of Godolphin College...
so there didn't seem any point
in going on with it, you see?
- Well, I'm sorry to hear that, sir...
- Howsoever, we have competed...
in the Broxton Relays
for the past 63 years...
so the alumni insisted
on one more try.
Well, of course, sir, there's not much
time left before the relay is here...
but I hope I can restore
your confidence in the boys.
Mr Walker, I never had any.
Well, mmm, before the warmth of
the dean's reception goes to my head...
I think I'll find Miss Stowecroft
and get a room.
I've been on the road
since 5:
00 this morning.- Okay, Coach. I'll see you tomorrow.
- Gudger...
uh, what did happen
I don't know.
He got to actin' real weird.
Talkin' to himself,
real down in the chops.
And one day, he just disappeared.
Just... and he was gone.
- Good night, Gudger.
- Good night, Coach.
Oh, Mr Walker.
This is Mr Purvis...
