You miss your doghouse, don't you, Quanah?

Don't worry.

Soon you'll have one made out of solid gold.

What?

Where is he? Who are you waiting for, Jules?

My friend Ben.

He wants to talk to your dad about something. It sounded important.

By any chance, does your friend wear glasses?

How did you know?

Ben!

Get out of the way, you klutz!

Come on, doggie!

Please! You, aspirate!

Stop!

Help!

Do you think we should give him a hand?

What an adventure.

I never thought writing was so difficult.

Here are your glasses, Ben. Thanks. Without them for me, it's like walking

in the fog.

You must be Emily.

Jules speaks about you all the time.

This is Monsieur Lucas, the director of the Conte du Voyage.

Monsieur Lucas, this is Ben Raddle. We studied together at the university.

He'd like to talk to you about... Ah, Tripp.

Do you want to come with me?

First, I think it would be interesting to know where to.

To the Klondike. To Forty Mile Creek, where my Uncle Josias left me some land.

I want to move there and become a gold prospector. It's just that... Well,

I don't really know how to get there.

The Klondike? In Canada?

We've never been to Canada. And we've never gone prospecting for gold.

Calm down, you two.

We don't just go chauffeuring people around on trips.

But I'll pay for the expenses.

My uncle was the only relative I had, and he left me the money for the trip.

And I'll give you a part of the gold we find.

Of course, this changes things.

When do we leave? I'm not sure if we're... Ready?

Obviously. Our bags aren't packed.

But don't worry. I'll take care of that.

Huh? Monsieur de l'Ennui, what are you doing?

I'm packing our bags, Esther.

In record time.

I'll put everything away and let you pack the bags.

So, is that a yes?

Sophia, stop that.

It doesn't matter.

Whatever it takes. I'm going anyway.

Good monkey now.

Good monkey.

Sorry, doggie.

We can't let him go by himself.

Please, Mr.

Lucas. You're right, Jules. He could put himself and all of Canada into a lot of

danger.

Watch this!

I'm a lasso champion!

Ben!

Wait!

Now what do we do? Why don't you let go of the lasso, Ben?

Wow! That's a brilliant idea!

Here we are. Forty Mile Creek.

Or at least, I think that's where we are.

I can already smell the nuggets.

Me too.

Good afternoon.

This place

is quite cozy.

Gold diggers aren't known for their good manners, ma'am. At least most of them

aren't. Hello, my name's Lydon.

Give me a dollar. I'll tell you the most incredible story you've ever... What's

going on, Litten? I thought I told you to quit telling that story in my tavern.

Isn't that right, gang?

That's right.

Come on, Litten.

We still haven't played your favorite game today.

Give it back! Come on!

Don't you remember the rules?

You have to grab the coins in mid-air.

He doesn't want to play, Malone. Hey, Hunter!

Ever since he found that mountain of gold, he doesn't need small change

anymore.

Wait, Crotac.

He didn't find the mountain. He lost it.

Thanks. Hey, what did you do that for?

The rules of the game have just changed.

Oh, really?

Then who would you two be?

They're with me.

Huh?

Hey,

watch out, Ben.

I got it. You're from the circus.

No way. I'm a gold prospector.

Oh, that makes me feel better.

I'm Josiah's rattle's nephew, and I've inherited his land and all his gold.

Gold on Josiah's land?

There's nothing on that land.

Not even a speck.

What? What is that supposed to mean? My uncle was a gold prospector.

But he never found any gold.

That land isn't worth one dollar, kid.

You can't even grow potatoes on it. I knew it. We came to the Klondike all for

nothing. But I spent everything I had to come here.

You can always play with us.

That is quite enough now, and the three of you deserve a good lesson.

And who's going to give it to us?

You? No, I am.

You're gonna pay for this one, stranger.

I wouldn't speak so soon.

Hey!

Who turned off the lights?

Let's go.

You betcha.

Don't worry.

Not all is lost.

You know, we always seem to be having financial problems at Cont.

Hey, kid. You wanna see a real golden nugget?

It all started about five years ago. That was when I bartered with that

Indian, Chilkoot, for enormous salad gold nuggets.

I had never seen anything like them.

They came from Cave Lightning.

The tribe that lived there cursed that place, but I didn't believe it, so I

traded all my furs and food supplies for a map.

You know, you remind me of myself when I was your age.

Were you as clumsy as I am?

No, I was a dreamer.

Thanks to the map, I almost found the cave, or as I call it, Golden Mount.

That avalanche took everything from me. The map, my dog, Quanah.

I spent the last five years looking for both.

I've spent everything I had.

But it's useless.

That's my story.

No one believes me, but it's true.

But it's... Gold, then.

Twenty-three and a half carats.

Practically solid gold!

It's the last nugget left from that Indian.

I'll trade it for a boat to go back to the place I lost the map.

If you'll come with me.

I know I'll never find it on my own.

I've already tried.

But together, I think we can do it.

I believe you. You can count on me.

And you can count on us, too.

We're not about to abandon Ben now, after the journey we've made together.

Hmm. Do you realize that even a crumb of that mountain could pay off all our

debts?

Sly one that Linton is.

Acting like a beggar all this time with a nugget as big as that one stashed

away. Let's go and get it.

Hang on there. If that story about the map is true, all we have to do is follow

him to Golden Mount.

And take all his gold.

Yeah.

You're a terrible hillsman.

Don't worry. Soon you'll learn to drive a boat and become an excellent gold

prospector too.

Very soon, I hope.

Don't worry, Mr.

Accountant. I know this river like the palm of my hand. Let it! Straight on!

Rapids!

Crepes! Usually the ice is all melted by now.

If we don't get around that ice, it'll crack the whole of the boat.

Look! It's huge!

I have no room to turn the boat!

I've got it! Hold on tight!

How intuitive, Jules!

This is by far the craziest, most brilliant thing I've ever seen!

So, anyone hungry?

Esther, you are truly able to cook anywhere.

It's not ready yet.

Quiche, that's not what we gold prospectors eat.

After a bit of a scare, nothing is better than a gold miner's biscuit.

Go on, try it.

Ow!

Watch out!

Enough idling around, Ben.

Pull up the anchor. We're heading off.

A gold miner's biscuit.

Hooray!

You gotta move on, Malone. Leddon and his friends have already gone ashore.

This is it. This is where it happened.

I've searched every inch of this place.

But the map seems to have disappeared into nothing.

You'll see, Layden. We'll find it.

Wait! The trunk isn't... Ben!

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just a bit of a klutz, that's all.

No, you were fantastic.

Look! The trees up the hill are all short, but the trees on the other side

of the clearing are all very tall.

This means... That for some reason the avalanche's path was obstructed.

It must have fallen into this gorge, and the map with it.

Look for a green sack. The map is inside.

Jules! There it is!

Amelie! Be careful!

Amelie! Jules! What happened?

Everything's okay!

We need to go down deeper!

Amelie?

The backpack, Jules.

I found it.

And he's found us. I think we've fallen into his den.

Stop right there, bear.

Good aim, but it won't keep him out of our hair for long.

Who would you be?

Guano! It's you!

You're alive!

Great job, kids!

And we found the map! The map! This is fantastic!

Over here! Follow me!

I knew he'd get the hang of it!

So there really is a map Man, let's go and

get rich The

fog is too heavy,

how are we gonna find our way?

This is easy, it's like when I lose my glasses Ben Stop!

A geyser?

Just where are we? At the foot of Cave Lightning.

According to the map, we're almost there.

It's a volcano, and that's why the Indians call it Cave Lightning. We need

to turn back.

Blindly wandering around volcanic geysers is just too dangerous.

But we can't give up now. We can practically touch gold and mount scold.

Maybe there's another way. Empty your sacks and your backpacks.

Done. You ready?

To do what?

One day, you're going to have to tell me where you get these ideas from, Jules.

Erupting geyser!

Jump out!

Where are my glasses?

Quick! Look at this!

Golden Mount!

We've found it, Connor!

We're rich! We're rich! We're rich!

No! We are rich.

Great idea you had with the backpacks, kid.

We copied it.

Gentle now.

Gentle, the three of you are ashamed of gold, prospectors.

So?

We won't be prospecting no more tomorrow.

Go on, get down there.

There's a mountain of gold to dig out for us.

Is it just me, or is it getting hotter and hotter? It's not just you. My

glasses keep getting steamed up. The volcano is active.

And it's probably about to erupt. Silence. Just keep on digging.

What did you just do?

Unbelievable.

It's... it's...

The biggest nugget in the whole wide world. We found it together, Ben.

Get out of the way. This is ours.

It's impossible.

It's stuck. No problem.

I'll take care of it.

Dynamite, stop.

Don't do it. Why not?

A volcano is about to erupt. If you go and explode one of the walls, it

could...

We're rich, Krotak.

I knew it. We gotta make a run for it.

It's too heavy. Help me.

Forget about it. Just grab the backpacks. Hurry up!

Sorry. This is where we say goodbye.

Esther, no!

Help!

We can't...

They pulled up the rope. There's no way out. The lava is rising.

Jones, think of something.

I don't know.

Unless... Ben, give me your glasses.

Here. But they're all steeped up.

There's cold air on the other side of this wall. That means the outside of the

volcano is on the other side of this wall.

The explosion must have reduced the thickness of the wall, creating a... An

exit for us?

Yes, if we push hard enough.

Yay!

We're free!

The lava is coming!

Hurry! Everyone on top of the rock!

Pull that gold!

Down there! Look! They'll never make it!

We've got to help them!

Get on! Now!

Drop the gun, Proctor!

Everyone on the left side of the rock!

No! The backpacks! The gold!

Get rid of them!

Now!

What a horrible night!

And it's not over yet!

Hold on!

We're alive!

We've done it!

Sure. With no gold to show for it.

Blast, monkey!

I'm going out.

Oh, no!

Luckily, we came to patrol the area because of the eruption, eh?

You can say that again.

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry.

All that gold so close at hand and... I know.

What a... Tragedy! Who knows what I'm going to do in Paris now that I'm poor.

Watch out! Move out of the way!

I'm sorry.

I'm a walking disaster.

Maybe. But now you're filthy rich as well.

been this way ever since we got back.

I wouldn't worry about him. I don't think he's ever been in such high

spirits.

Look, a letter from Ben has just arrived from the Klondike.

Dear friends at Kant, everything is going well here. With all the gold from

Golden Mount, Ledin and I have opened a luxury hotel for prospectors.

The rates are the same as they were at Golden Tavern, but we're much more

successful. Maybe because of the clean sheets and the Lily of the Valley soaps.

Every now and then we still go up to the river to search for gold, and I've

learned how to drive the boat, more or less.

Oh, and Quanah gave birth to six puppies.

Come visit soon. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Ben Rattle.

You know, I'm so happy for Ben and Ledin, even if I do miss them. Me too,

Amelie. But I have an idea.

I'll write a story about Ben, Len and Quanah. It will make for a magnificent

book.
