Jamaica Inn was Hitchcock's first adaptation of a Daphne du Maurier novel (he later made Rebecca and The Birds from her stories). The film is a tense and atmospheric tale of thieves and cut-throats set on the rugged Cornish coast. Mary (Maureen O'Hara), an orphan girl, goes to live with her Uncle Joss (Leslie Banks), landlord of the Jamaica Inn. Working as a barmaid at the inn, Mary discovers that her uncle is the head of a gang of pirates who prey upon wrecked ships that have foundered in the heavy seas. When she then finds out that the gang lure the ships to their doom in the first place, her life is put in danger.
