An unknown traveller (aka Storyteller David Doyle) sits in his tent and recounts the amazing story of Ernest Settleby, ex Soldier-of-Fortune and renowned Healer, who, having cheated Death, has been forced to live out eternity travelling from place to place, carrying a Sack, a Drum, and a Deck Of Cards; all of which have magical properties.

Legend has it that he eventually arrived in a northern suburb of Plymouth, and, who knows, he may still be there.

Could this be where the name 'Ernesettle' comes from?
