Radio serial.
'David Beckett’s problems were much of his own making. Reckless, impatient, attractive to women, but surprisingly naïve, he finds himself agreeing to take a gang of criminals and a stolen load of gold bullion from England to Tangiers aboard his ocean-going yacht.'

Notes
-
Written by Hardy while in England but produced in Australia in mid-1956 by Grace Gibson.

Despite sharing the same name and the same author, there does not seem to be a correlation between this serial and the 1961 BBC TV series.
