With the disappearance of a world renowned archaeologist, comes a great tale of treasure and magic. Dr. Benderman spent his life collecting mystical artifacts. On his last journey, Dr. Benderman headed an expedition to Egypt. No one knows what Dr. Benderman discovered, but it is said to be hidden in Eastville. After Dr. Benderman's disappearance, rumor began to circulate about his hidden treasure. After many people searched in vain for the treasure, the town became quiet. Then, in the summer, the story of his treasure caught the interest of four teens. The teens make a plan to sneak into Dr. Benderman's mansion to find his treasure. The teens make their way through the mansion. With hidden rooms and antiques in every room, the teens find that they are getting nowhere fast. As the teens make their way into a large study, they find a strange artifact. Joey, the oldest of the teens finds a box that contains Spanish language on it. He opens the box and finds a map and a key. The map is written in Spanish. Dave, the youngest of the teens, speaks Spanish and he translates the map. The map states that there is a large treasure in the Crystal Cave that is located in Eastville. The Rockford Gold is said to be hidden in the Crystal Cave. The cave is an incredibly beautiful sight. The walls and ceiling of the cave are full of crystal formations. For safety, one of the teens stays outside the entrance of the cave. If the others do not return in four hours, he has orders to get help. There is a stream running through the cave. The teens navigate through the stream and through several obstacles. As Dave losses his footing, he falls over a small waterfall. At the base of the waterfall there is a huge stalactite that looks like Medusa. The map states that Medusa holds the treasure. Sure enough, at the center of the formation there is a treasure chest. The teens take the golden key and open the chest. Inside is the head of Zeus made of pure gold. The teens make their way back through the dangerous cave with the treasure. Little do they know that two villains have been following them. The villains steal the treasure and return to their hideout. The teens find the villains hideout and make a plan to retrieve the treasure. Joey disguises himself as a zombie and sets a small fire in the back yard. Two of the other teens enter the house to retrieve the treasure. The teens give the villains the scare of a lifetime. The teens discover that the villains have a room full of Dr. Benderman's treasure. The treasure is returned to the museum and the villains are captured. The teens keep one artifact to themselves. A teleportation device. The search for mystical treasure will continue!
