It's a series of books about a pirate-turned-clergyman-turned-smuggler. I've never read them but want to. The guy's name is Doctor Syn.

I was speaking of the TV movie from the 60s ... which I have been watching for the last hour or so ... great stuff

LOL It sounded vaguely familiar and my tired little brain transposed a TV show my friend's dad - who lives in MN - told me about recently.

There was a logical train of thought there...really there was...

The King told all his soldiers
"Hang him high or hang him low
But never return 'till the day I learn he's gone in flames below"
