A Bell for San Tanco

A Bell for San Tanco

Available on Prime Video, Tubi TV
S1 E4: Almost three centuries old, the convent bell goes flat. Sr. Bertrille works on the bell but rusted beyond repair, it cracks. Sr. Jacqueline reveals a new bell had been sent from Belgium long ago, but the ship carrying it sank off the coast. To salvage it would require a fortune and a boat. Sr. Bertrille decides to approach Carlos Ramirez, who has both. She goes to his yacht and finds Carlos with Binkie Wadsworth, a languid beauty, who is bored by his suggestions to amuse her. Carlos flatly refuses to help retrieve the bell but Binkie, hearing the sunken ship is marked on a map in a "haunted house" hails it as a new adventure. Seeing his opportunity to arouse Binkie's interest, Carlos orders Pedro to plant a map, and a bell, which Carlos will then retrieve on a weekend treasure hunt with Binkie. Sr. Bertrille gets reluctant permission to search the "haunted house" with Sr. Jacqueline and Sr. Ana. Bearing lanterns, they arrive about the same time as Carlos and Binkie. Remembering the "ghosts," everyone is terrified, until they meet and find Pedro's planted map. Forced to take Sr. Bertrille along, Carlos casts off. Bored by Carlos' unsuccessful dives, Binkie starts fishing. Just as Carlos and Pedro hoist up the bell, Binkie is yanked overboard. As Binkie clings to driftwood, Sr. Bertrille flies overhead and drops her a life preserver. Later, in the hospital, Binkie, convinced she has had a vision, resolves to change her ways. Carlos and Pedro are stunned to find they have salvaged the real bell for San Tanco.
