The Wicked doctor Syn.

After finishing, and thoroughly enjoying, The Body On The Door Step, the Romney Marsh mystery story by AJ McKenzie I was remembering a story from the Wonderful World Of Disney (In Color!) about the scarecrow smuggler and his wicked struggle against the forces of The Kings revenue men.
It was all swarthy stuff, with the smugglers being the rascally good guys. it had a particularly rousing theme song:                                       Scarecrow! Scarecrow!
                              On The Southern Coast Of England Theres A Legend People Tell
                              Of Days Long Ago When The Great Scarecrow Would Ride From
                                                          The Gates Of Hell!
                                                     And Laugh With A Fiendish Yell,
                         With His Clothes Torn And Tattered Through The Black Night He'd Ride
                                         From The Marsh To The Coast Like A Demon Ghost
                                                       He'd Rob The Rich Then Hide
                                                And He'd Laugh Til He Split His Side!
                                  (Doctor Syn The Scarecrow Of Romney Marsh/Walt Disney.)
                    What a great theme. It makes one wish to swash one's buckle. So to speak.
