(1991) Willie Loomis was a rowdy, uneducated troublemaker who lived in the fishing village of Collinsport, Maine. His aunt, Sarah Johnson, worked as a housekeeper for the prestigious Collins family and convinced Roger Collins to give Willie a job working as a stable hand.



Willie hated working for Roger, and spent most of his free time sitting in his room at Collinwood drinking himself into a stupor. One day, he was scouring through a pile of old books when he came upon a mysterious doggerel alluding to the location of a cache of riches commonly referred to as the "Collins family jewels". Willie deciphered a portion of the riddle and concluded that the jewels were hidden away inside of a secret room in the family mausoleum. This discovery would lead him into meeting Barnabas Collins and his life would be changed forever.
