The boys must harvest half a pound of ginseng to trade for Eugene's truck down payment. But a poacher is getting in their way. It's a race against time to track him down and find a way to get these roots dried, all before that truck gets sold.
Spencer and Eugene hunt for gold with their friend Cowboy. They'll create a hillbilly rickshaw to carry him through the hills. Then they'll have to brave freezing water if they want to suction out gold from the river-bed with their homemade dredger!
