The women from Episode 12 are back. They are fed up because while the men like their company, no one wants to marry them, and unless someone does they are leaving. Taff has a narrow escape, then it’s down to Sam Bassett, Beamish’s number two man. The women, led by Abigail (Joan Sims), find out he is being pushed into marriage and decide to leave the island, only to wind up in the hands of slave traders led by La Forte (Paul Eddington).
