Jerry and his friends have turned Dad’s old canal‑boat into a bustling traveling show, complete with a makeshift stage, a noisy organ, and a “great” magician called Scoop. Their plans for quick cash are soon rattled when the rival Stricker gang tries to sabotage the act, and a mysterious “friendly ghost” appears to lend unexpected help. Amid the chaos they discover a cryptic map that points to the legendary Oak Island treasure, sparking a race against time and rival treasure hunters.
The adventure quickly widens as the gang encounters odd clues—a lone piano leg, a chatty piano tuner, and strange lights that shift between darkness and moonlit brilliance. With each new puzzle, the boys must rely on teamwork, daring, and a touch of humor to stay one step ahead. Listeners will be swept into a lively mix of comedy, mystery, and the timeless thrill of a treasure hunt.
