Description by OLDIES.com:

Long John Silver and his motley crew sail the Caribbean aboard their ship, The Faithful, in search of adventure? and treasure! Plotting their high-seas hi-jinx from the Cask & Anchor Inn, the pirates run the Spanish Main. Starring popular British actor Robert Newton and filmed in color, "The Adventures of Long John Silver" is a rare and much-loved television program from the mid-1950s.

Dead Reckoning: Jim's guardian demands the boy be returned to England for a Christian upbringing, so Long John quickly sends the lad to a school in Bermuda. Young Hawkins' new British teacher, however, turns out to be a cruel man who favors the cane.

Pieces of Eight: Long John stands to lose his ship if he fails to raise money for the new war tax. In a desperate move, he agrees to let Salamander the Greek lead his crew on a treacherous and deadly journey for gold through the wilds of Panama.

The Tale of the Tooth: The crew threatens mutiny if Long John doesn't do something about the bad tooth that's been making him so ornery. This motivates the stubborn pirate to rescue a Scottish dentist from a Spanish fort.

Turnabout: Long John Silver's plans of doing "honest tradin'" on the high seas are scuttled after a French military vessel seizes Old Faithful. With his crew now in manacles, the pirate conspires to win back control of the ship, even if he has to cook lavish meals for the new captain.
