Night Creatures

As Collier delves deeper, he uncovers evidence of a sophisticated smuggling operation orchestrated by the supposedly benevolent Dr. Blyss, who is revealed to be none other than the infamous pirate Captain Clegg, believed to have been executed years ago.

Collier eventually exposes Blyss's true identity, leading to a confrontation that results in the re-capture or death of Blyss and his remaining pirates, finally bringing law and order to the remote community.
