In 1819, Jamaica Inn is the headquarters of a gang of wreckers led by the innkeeper Joss Merlyn. The wreckers are responsible for a series of engineered shipwrecks in which they extinguish coastal warning beacons to cause ships to run aground on the rocky Cornish coast. They then kill the surviving sailors and steal the cargo from the wrecks.
