His uncle assures him the gold is just waiting to be taken, but warns taking it can be deadly. Wolfe collects an odd assortment of men and women to find the treasure. The problem is the treasure hunters are constantly at odds with each other and also antagonize everyone else, including a ruthless gang of thugs who decide to steal the lost gold from the treasure hunters.
