There you go. Taylor, Charlie. Enjoy.

Oh, looks like that gold-hunting tourist is back.

Hello, there. How did you go?

There is no gold. None.

Naught to be found here.

Uncle Charlie,

why do people keep coming to Rock Island to search for gold?

There's been rumours of gold on the island for years.

But there isn't any?

Can you keep a secret?

There is gold here.

But there's only one map showing its location.

I found it washed up on a beach years ago.

Where's the other half?

- No idea. Hopefully it's lost. - Why?

The gold needs to be protected

or there'll be chilling consequences.

Couldn't someone find it without the map?

Only if they can get past the guardians.

- Who are they? - I'll tell you one day.

I reckon I can find the gold by the end of the day.

Sorry, son. No-one's ever had any luck

prospecting for gold around here.

Yeah, that's because they didn't have a treasure map.

But I do.

Where did you get that?

I outbid a bunch of suckers at an auction.

Aren't you a bit young to do that?

Not with my mum's credit card. She buys me whatever I want.

Hurry up and get my food.

Coming right up.

It's the real deal. Somehow that kid

has the other half of Uncle Charlie's treasure map.

So there is gold on Rock Island.

This is the best day of my life!

- What's he doing? - His gold-finding dance.

He's been working on it for months.

Ellis, I know it's your dream

- to find treasure... - And roll in it.

..but this isn't about finding gold. It's about protecting it.

At least let him roll in it first.

Ahhh.

Ahhh!

Wait! Wouldn't it be kind of pointy and uncomfortable?

Guys! Uncle Charlie told me

that we have to help the guardians protect it

or else there will be chilling consequences.

- That sounds serious. - Seriously exciting.

If a little vague.

What are these chilling consequences?

He didn't go into any more detail, but it sounds bad.

- And who are these guardians? - I don't know.

The other half of the map

doesn't show where the coastline is

but if that kid figures it out

- he could get the gold. - So what's the plan?

Nori, Ellis and I will get there first.

- Yes! - And move it to a safe place.

- Oh. - Meesha?

You and Lila run interference on the kid.

I'm not missing out on a chilling treasure hunt

to babysit some brat.

He was really mean to Gillian.

I will take him down!

Do you know where I can mail a postcard to my mother?

Do I look like tourist information to you?

- Rude! - I'm gonna squash him.

Hey! Maybe later.

Follow my lead.

Hey, there! Is it true you're looking for gold?

- Why do you ask? - We want to help.

We have mad knowledge of the island.

I'd love to document your discovery.

My followers would love to see someone strike it rich.

- Well, the camera DOES love me. - Ugh.

And I suppose I could let you help me

find some local landmarks.

Know where I could find the three rocks?

Absolutely!

And we'll even guide you the fastest way there.

Or not.

Don't get any ideas of getting a cut of the gold.

What I find is mine.

- Comprende? - Mm.

Girls.

- I'm really... - Meesha, Meesha!

Don't! Please, please, Meesha!

OK.

OK.

Even with both sides, this map's kinda cryptic.

So we go off these symbols.

Is that a goat?

Mm, the photo's not the best.

But the closest thing to the X is three rocks.

Ah, this is Rock Island. There's rocks everywhere.

Look out!

Ow! Taylor!

Hey, what did you do that for?

To stop you falling in that pit.

Whoa.

- That's a big outdoor toilet. - Mm-hm.

There's a danger symbol on the map.

Maybe this is what it means.

We must be on the right track.

Wait. Didn't you say the guardians stop gold hunters?

And we're hunting gold?

You're only just realising that now?

We'll tell them we're here to help.

What if they're too busy burying us to listen?

You're sure this is right?

I mean, on the map

it looks like the three rocks were in the jungle, not a cave.

Oh, well, us locals call this cave the, ah, jungle cave.

- Right, Meesh? - Mm.

So for my viewers, tell me, what's your name?

They call me Cowboy Joe.

Wow!

Is that because you're a cowboy as well as a gold hunter?

It's because I'm not afraid of danger. I eat it for breakfast.

I'll keep you two girls safe.

Argh!

Oh.

Let me get that for you.

- Maybe we should turn back. - No!

I mean, you haven't heard the song I'm writing about you.

It's called Ballad of Cowboy Joe.

- How's it go? - Er...

♪ There was a boy named Cowboy Joe

♪ He really loved gold and he... ♪

♪ Acted like a six-year-old

- ♪ And not much did he know. - Hey!

I'm 14.

We'll workshop it!

No sign of any rock trios, triads or triplets.

This could be it!

Everybody get ready for a gold-finding dance!

Bottle caps?

That was cruel.

Why would someone bury these out here?

We're all going to die!

Run!

Please don't sting me! I love honey!

I'm a monarchist too! My favourite letter is B!

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Why me?

Why me?

He has muscles from head to toe

And that's the ballad of Cowboy Joe!

This is it.

The legendary, world-famous Rock Island rock trio.

Pretty rubbish rocks.

But I guess this whole island's tragic.

- Hey... - Hey!

Just think about it.

Once you have the gold, you never have to come back here.

- Ever again. - Yeah.

And I'll be rich as. Stand back, girls.

Film me from a low angle so I look tall.

Yeah. Sorry!

That's weird.

Those bees were crazed, then suddenly lost interest in us

when you threw away the metal detector.

Maybe it was the noise?

Nori's shrieking was way louder.

Hey, bee stings hurt, alright?

Lila isn't sure how long they can stall this Cowboy Joe

so we'd better get back to finding the gold.

I understand what we're doing is important,

but maybe it's time we give up the gold hunt.

Ellis is right.

- We should turn back. - Sorry?

Those guardians could be vicious.

Totally.

We don't know what we're dealing with.

- True! - Plus one more bee sting

and I could have an allergic reaction.

Preach!

It could be hives or swelling

or hives that swell until they explode.

I could get exploded on by Nori's hives!

We can't risk it! It could be our ultimate demise!

Ow! Nori, get off me!

- Nori, are you alright? - I'm fine.

Why wouldn't I be? Maybe it's you.

Maybe you're not right. Let's go home.

Ah, you two go. I'll find the gold.

No. I can't let you go without me.

I'll find the metal detector.

What about the bees and their painful stings?

What bees?

Ellis, what do you know about those bees?

I'll be so rich, I can buy this loser island.

How long do you think he'll go for?

Hopefully until he digs himself back to the ranch.

He should be called Gullible Joe

for believing this is the three rocks.

What did you say?

Ah, you should be called Infallible Joe

because you're so awesome.

Thanks.

- But you two tricked me. - No!

You're only figuring this out now?

I should have known better than to listen to two girls,

especially one who can't sing that well.

- Oh! - Lila, he's not worth it.

Let's go.

Cow-baby Joe can find his own way back.

Huh!

It's me.

Yeah, we're not the only ones looking for the gold.

I think they were rare blue-tipped bees,

native to the island. Not much is known about them.

So nothing about their stings?

Hmm.

Nori!

What are you doing? Give it back!

No. You're leading us into danger.

Why are you acting so like Ellis?

Yeah, you're not meant to freak out. That's my schtick!

There's naught gold out here.

There's no gold. Naught to be found here.

Ellis, why do bees sting?

To protect the queen, the hive, to be mean.

But these bees seem to chase

after metal detectors specifically.

I mean, Nori got stung. Suddenly, he isn't himself.

Look. There's all these dots here.

What if it's a clue to warn people of the bees?

And if the gold is where their hive is

maybe they protect the hive.

By making you anti-gold?

Their sting must have some kind of mind-control powers.

I think they're the gold guardians!

That's why all the other prospectors found nothing.

There is no gold.

The bees drove them away by stinging them?

Yes.

But if Cowboy Joe finds out

that these dots represent the bees,

he might realise he needs to wear protective gear.

And if he does, we're in big trouble.

Really?

Nori? Nori!

Ow!

Hello? Anyone out there?

Are you OK?

Thank goodness you found me.

My name's Janet. I got lost sightseeing, then I fell.

- Please help. - Can you climb?

Oh, my ankle. I think it's sprained.

- Here. - Thanks.

Sightseeing is pretty dangerous around here.

How?

Poisonous bees with a really bad sting.

You really shouldn't be out here without any protection.

Bees? Right.

Ah, can you pass down the rope, Janet?

What are you kids doing out here, anyway?

Er...

..looking for a friend.

And some treasure, maybe?

My son said some ratbag kids were out here after our gold.

Cowboy Joe is your son?

I clearly picked the right area if you're here.

Thanks for the intel about the bees.

That must be why no-one's found it before.

All I've got to do is get some protective gear

and that gold is ours.

And we don't share.

Ellis!

Well, that was easier than I anticipated.

Sorry.

Nori, are you out there?

We've got to get out of here.

Mathematically that was never going to work.

Says the guy who jumped in here and warned her about the bees.

She had very intimidating body language.

Nori?

- What are you doing there? - Follow my lead.

Please help us.

We just want to give up this hunt and go home.

So you accept there's naught gold?

Mm-hm. Absolutely.

I'd prefer to be...

..getting my hair cut.

- What? - Lila is always going on

- about your split ends. - She is?

I mean, let's focus.

So how did you guys get down there?

There's another gold hunter. She trapped us here!

Shh!

Gold hunter?

Out here?

Nori, wait!

They weren't here before!

Nori. He's upgraded the booby trap.

Quick, turn off your metal detector!

It's jammed!

Push the bottle caps into the pit.

Seriously? Now?

The bees. They don't like the smell!

- Keep farting! - If I must.

For our safety!

He said he can't be stopped

but all he's done is order food.

Some of those cookies do look pretty nice.

We can't eat with the enemy.

Mum?

Those dots on the map are deadly bees.

I've got an outfit for you outside, Diddles.

- You know I hate that name. - Did I ask your opinion?

They're both as mean as each other.

Now, let's go and get some gold, son.

We need to move fast.

I meant to call Taylor, not eat leftover cookies.

Can't we do both?

OK.

Thanks, Meesha, but maybe next time

try calling when your mouth isn't full.

The guardians won't be able to stop Cowboy Joe and his mother.

We have to move the gold before they get there.

But we still don't know where it is.

The three rocks could be any rocks in this area.

Maybe Nori knows.

He's naught going to tell you.

I must be getting close to the gold by now!

I don't care about any killer bees.

I won't give up until I find it!

There's no gold out here. Naught.

Now!

Come on, Nori. Move left!

Yes, yes, yes!

Let's try this way.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Who needs metal detectors?

The three rocks.

Can you hear that?

No. No!

No. No. Uh-uh.

We're close.

No. No, you're not.

I think the hive's in there.

How do we get inside?

Maybe the map has a clue.

There was a goat.

That's a ram with big horns.

But there are no rams around here.

It's also the name of a plant. The ram's horn.

You're a genius! What's it look like?

That.

Look, there's a pathway towards a cave.

But how do we get in

without being stung or turning out like Nori?

- I'm all out. - Well, what else stinks?

Wattle seeds mixed with water is essentially a stink bomb.

Here goes nothing.

You two are gross.

Your stink bomb, it's working.

Hey, look.

Gold!

Gold! Gold! There's so much gold!

Don't you want to roll in it?

- No. - Not even a little bit?

Let's just take what we can before Janet and Joe get here.

It's s-so cold.

Uncle Charlie said ch-chilling consequences.

Chilling as in cold.

I think that somehow the gold is keeping the island warm.

That's why the bees keep guard over it.

That and the fact that they're probably greedy.

If Janet and Joe take the gold,

the island will go cold forever.

How do we stop Janet from getting it?

We need to take inspiration from whoever built the pit.

It's time to booby trap.

- Come on, Diddles. - Mum!

This way.

So close I can feel it.

Ah! The pit!

- Ah, nice try, kiddos. - You tell 'em, Mum.

Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Help!

Hey! You kids!

We'll help you if you promise never to return to the island.

Sure. Once we've got the gold.

There's naught gold here.

Grrrr!

- The bottle caps. - Ooh, bad move, Janet!

Argh! Ow!

Our stink bomb has faded.

Ellis, we need your stink power.

I don't know whether to be flattered or offended.

So. About that gold.

There is no gold. None.

There's naught to be found here.

That's what I thought. I'll pass you down the rope.

Before we go home, can I roll in the gold a little?

♪ I wanna see you bring the heat, the heat

♪ I wanna see you bring the heat, the heat

♪ Bring the heat, the heat.

Ahh!

Smoothies all round.

How are you feeling, Nori?

Fine. Why?

You still don't remember?

Remember what?

The pit, the stink bomb, the frantic buzz of impending doom?

You guys can't fool me that easy.

So, what did you get up to today?

We went looking for gold but couldn't find any. Why?

Those bees have some serious power.

Ah, what bees?

You guys are weird.

Could I have some more honey in this, please?
