We've been all over these burial grounds.

There's nobody here.

Well, someone must have lit these torches.

Let's keep looking.

The Brady boys never thought their vacation in Hawaii

would end up in an ancient burial cave.

The family goes to Hawaii with Mike

while he works on a job for his firm.

At the construction site

Bobby and Peter find a small idol.

They're unaware that according to ancient Polynesian belief

the idol is an evil taboo

Bringing bad luck to all who touch it

First Bobby is almost hit by a heavy wall decoration

while he wears the idol around his neck.

Then Greg is wearing the idol

when he has a terrible wipeout while surfing.

And when Peter is wearing it,

he has an unwelcome visitor in the night.

Then the boys learn about the ancient taboo

from an old Hawaiian gentleman.

He tells them that the evil curse can only be broken

by returning the idol to the ancient burial ground

of the island kings.

The boys are unaware that they're being shadowed

by a mysterious stranger.

Hey!

Anybody here?

Boy, it's spooky in here.

That's it.

( cackles evilly )

Scare them out of here.

( rock tumbling and clattering )

What was that?

One of us probably just kicked a rock.

But we're just standing here.

Oh, you guys and your imagination.

That wasn't my imagination

my imagination doesn't creek

okay okay so something creeked

what could creek in here

dead bones could creek

oh I can feel it in my bones Alice

Something is wrong

I bet they'll be home any minute

you know those guys when they're having fun they forget about everything

not dinner

oh Mike did you find the bus driver

yeah, he remembers the boys getting off the bus

but he doesn't remember exactly where

well maybe we outta call the police

tell 'em what honey the boys are a ittle late?

he's right Mrs. Brady

It's like I said before

they forget about everything when they're having fun

A dead end

just say end, don't say dead

I'm with him

Oh, Oliver...

Oliver, how could I have been so careless?

I should have covered the entrance to the cave better.

Those children are going to ruin everything.

I've got to get rid of them.

Will you guys come on?

We're going to be in a lot of trouble with Mom and Dad.

Yeah, we shouldn't have done this.

You're both just scared.

Why don't you admit it?

I'm not scared.

I'm not scared!

Okay.

You stay here while I go look down there.

I'm scared!

We admit it!

( chuckling )

Did you hear that, Oliver?

I really did frighten them.

Now to finish the job.

I think we should tell Mom and Dad where they went.

Jan's right.

We should tell them.

But we gave our promise that we wouldn't.

I say we wait a little longer.

Another dead end.

I tell you, there's nobody here.

( groaning )

Did you hear that?

Yeah, I heard it.

If that's nobody, I don't want to meet him.

( groaning grows louder )

Hold up, you guys. Don't panic.

All right, we know someone's in here

so come out, whoever you are.

( hinge creaks )

( yelling )

( yelling and groaning )

Darn it, they went the wrong way.

Well, Oliver, if I can't get rid of them one way

I'll get rid of them another.

All right!

I tried to frighten you

but you wouldn't go.

Now, come on out!

I've got you trapped!

Why didn't you tell us this before?

MARCIA: Because we promised the boys

that we wouldn't.

Honey, you know better than that.

You don't keep a promise like that

if you know it might hurt someone.

Where'd they go?

We don't know.

But they did say that they were taking the idol

back to some old burial ground.

Didn't they say where it was?

No, but old Mr. Hanalei told them about it.

MARCIA: He works for the construction company, Dad.

Well, I think we better have a talk with Mr. Hanalei.

Well, this is definitely a fly in the ointment, Oliver.

A sticky wicket.

What are we going to do with these boys, Oliver?

He keeps calling that thing "Oliver."

When you've been alone as long as I have

you need companionship

someone to talk to.

Sure, everybody needs a friend.

But the point is

what are you doing here?

Nobody knows about this cave but me.

We just stumbled onto it.

Honest, we came to the burial ground

to bring back the little idol.

Idol? What idol?

In Greg's pocket.

Which one is Greg?

The big one.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Oh, it's exquisite.

It's a most important archeological find!

Oh, you naughty, naughty boys.

You didn't bring this here.

You found it while you've been here in this cave.

No, we didn't.

We found that in Honolulu.

Don't lie to me.

You found a find that I didn't find.

Honest, mister, we didn't find a found that you didn't... find.

Stubborn, aren't you?

Well, I can wait.

I can wait a long, long time

because you're never leaving here

until you tell me the truth.

I did nothing wrong.

We're not blaming anybody, Mr. Hanalei,

if you'd just tell us where our boys went.

I did nothing wrong.

Please, Mr. Hanalei.

The boys are lost.

They haven't come back.

They did not come back?

No, won't you please help us?

That is bad.

I will tell you what I told them.

Boy, those beans sure look good.

Well, all you have to do is

spill the beans and they're yours.

Mister, we're telling you the truth

about the idol.

That's right, mister...

Not mister-- professor.

Professor Hubert Whitehead.

You're a professor?

Mmm, professor of archaeology.

Archaeology... that's about digging up ruins, isn't it?

Ruins and bones and mummies, other fun things.

I don't suppose any of you have ever heard of me huh?

No I don't think we have

no nobody has, that's my problem

you know I remember once when I was digging along the Nile

with Curuthers, a wretched chap Curuthers

I never could stand him he was always winning, you know what I mean

oh I know a guy like that

well we were searching for the lost tomb of a pharaoh

and we almost had it narrowed down to the exact spot

when Curuthers suggested that I search one way while he searched another

what happened?

Curuthers found the tomb

and you?

I got lost

uh that's tough luck professor

Is that what you're doing now?

Looking for stuff for a museum?

Museums?

( scoffs )

I've turned my back on the academic world.

There are treasures buried in this cave

that are worth a fortune, a fortune

and they're mine, all mine.

You mean you're going to steal it?

Please, I prefer to think of it

as proper compensation for past injustices.

That's why you're going to tell me

where you found that idol because wherever it was

there's bound to be more.

We already told you-- back in Honolulu.

I want the truth!

You're somebody's children, aren't you?

Yep.

And we'd like to keep it that way.

Precisely why you're going to tell me

where you found that idol.

Now, you think about it while I go reheat my beans.

That guy's a real ding-a-ling.

Yeah, we got to get out of here.

Don't worry.

When he tied us up, I kept some slack.

Should be out of this in a minute.

Honey, are you sure this is the right place?

From what Mr. Hanalei said, it has to be.

It's not going to be easy to find them in here at night.

No, but we're going to find them, come on.

Don't make a sound.

Thought you could get away

from the old professor, didn't you?

Didn't you?!

( cackles )

Very naughy of you

trying to run away

we're sorry professor

yeah we just lost our heads

shh don't give him any ideas

this foolishness has got to stop

either you tell me where you found that Idol

or I'm gonna take what treasure I can, leave you tied here in this cave and go

now start talking

I have something to tell you professor what?

your beans are burning

oh good heavens

I had to get rid of him for a mintue so we can figure out what to do.

we told him the truth he won't belive us

yeah we found the idol in Honolulu

this time we'll lie, we gotta stall for time

what good will that do

the girls know where we are right?

they'll tell mom and dad and they'll come and get us

but you made the girls promise to keep a secret

that's the point, those blabber-mouths never keep a secret

boy I hope you're right

stall for time

and even if mom and dad don't come something else might happen

well I can think of lots of things that could happen me too and I don't like any of them

Honey, look.

What is it?

That's popcorn

and it leads away from here

just like a trail.

And Bobby's always eating popcorn.

That's right.

I'm sure it's a trail.

Come on, honey. We'll find them.

Professor?

A word of thanks.

You saved my beans, boy.

Oh, well, good.

Are you prepared to tell me

where you found that idol--

the precise spot in this cave?

That's the trouble--

we don't remember exactly.

We found it while you were trying to scare us away.

Shall we believe him, Oliver?

BOBBY: Believe us

Oliver, believe us.

If you untie us, professor

we're sure we can help you find the exact spot.

All right.

All right, I'll untie you.

But don't try to run away

because if you do...

We get the point.

Hey...

there's some more popcorn, honey.

Maybe it's not Bobby's.

Maybe it's been there for days.

No, no, with all the birds around here

not a chance.

Come on, honey, let's go.

I thought you knew

exactly where you found it.

Well, I didn't mean

exactly exactly, professor.

I meant exactly in the location

not the exact spot

in the exact location exactly.

Understand?

Exactly.

You do?

Well, I mean, I now believe

that you found the idol

in Honolulu.

So there's only one thing to do.

Let us go?

Wrong.

I have no choice.

Do we have a choice?

No-- I'm going to tie you up again

and get out with my treasures.

All right, now, move, move, move

move, move, move!

Move!

All right, over there, over there.

Hey, this isn't my tiki.

That's my tiki.

Get over that end.

Oh, for goodness' sake

take any tiki!

Carol, look.

I'm sorry if I frightened you, boys.

I never really meant to hurt you.

When I get into town

I'll send someone back to let you go.

Would you like some beans?

BOBBY: Mom!

PETER: Dad!

GREG: Over here!

Oh, boys, are you all right?

GREG: Yeah, we're glad you're here.

Now everybody knows about my secret cave.

It's become a tourist attraction.

Listen, I don't know

who you are or what you're doing

but you've got a lot of explaining to do.

Yes, I suppose I do owe you that.

So let me say once again how sorry I am

that I frightened your boys, Mr. Brady.

All I ever really wanted

was a place of my own in the academic world

and now I've sunk to crime.

I'm an archeological dropout.

You didn't really think

you'd get away with stealing treasures?

Well, one has hopes.

Why not report the cave and the treasures to the state?

Well, I've thought about that

but somehow, some way

somebody else would get the credit for it.

Well, not if you had five witnesses

who would swear that you found it.

Five witnesses?

Me, my boys and my wife.

Then I'd be assured of reporting a major archeological find.

Right!

You'd do that for me?

Sure.

I'd be famous.

Oh, Oliver!

Oliver, did you hear that?

I've done it.

I've made

a discovery of my very own--

me, Oliver, me.

Oh, Oliver.

Well, we found it.

The tomb of the first king.

And we put the taboo idol back.

Honey, you know, there are some very weird things in here.

Oh, you're telling me.

Oliver... Oliver.

( chuckles )

That's just Oliver.

( man yells )

( man hooting )

Tonight, with this luau, we celebrate

the illustrious Dr. Whitehead's amazing archeological discoveries...

and his appointment

as developer and curator of the museum's new Whitehead wing.

GREG: Congratulations.

We also wish to honor the Brady family...

who helped make his discovery possible.

( crowd murmuring )

We consider them kama'aina-- old Hawaiian friends.

Aloha, pumehana.

ALL: Aloha!

Let us rejoice.

As tradition demands

you must sound the horn of brotherhood.

CAROL: Come on, sweetheart.

( blowing tones through conch )

( blows feebly )

( laughing )

JAN: Forget it.

( tooting )

CAROL: Come on, Alice.

( slight toot )

I think my lip is gone.

( low, smooth toot )

( medium-high toot )

CAROL: He's a tenor!

( trumpeting )

MIKE: That's a pretty good sound.

( low toot )

( long, low tooting )

Small boy has big lung.

Now let the luau continue.

( rhythmic drumming )

Hmm, it's been a magnificent evening.

Oliver would have loved it.

Oh, honey, this has been an absolutely marvelous vacation.

It'll be a real marvel

if we can get everything packed

so we can go home.

All us guys are ready, Dad.

MIKE: Great, hey, Bob.

Come here. Give me a hand.

Now, hop up there.

That's it.

Boy, am I glad we're not taking

that bad luck idol home with us.

Honey, that's not a bad luck idol.

Right-- the bad luck is all in your head.

What about Greg getting hit

on the head with a surfboard?

Well, it was good luck

he wasn't really hurt, right?

What about the spider that crawled on Pete?

He was lucky it wasn't poisonous.

Oh, I get it.

I guess it just depends on how you look at things.

Exactly.

Wait a minute.

There, okay.

Oh, uh-oh!

Well, I broke my sandal.

What rotten luck.

No, that's good luck.

Good luck?

Sure, you're lucky your foot wasn't in it.

It all depends on how you look at things.
