After several horseback rides along the trails to search for the man, the kids find more adventure than they anticipated.
When Kate and Tori overhear two men discussing Mr.
Benson, rumors of the gold he's found, and how they plan to rob him, Kate and her friends know they have to warn Mr.
Benson before the thieves can strike.
But what will happen if their plan backfires, and the men come after them?.
