The Doctor has other ideas but, as his theories are disproved and every plan of escape is thwarted, he must work to win the trust of the implacable Captain Avery and uncover the truth behind the pirates’ supernatural fears - and he must work quickly, for some of his friends have already fallen under the Siren’s spell…
