It is part of a series featuring the six Bunker children—Russ, Rose, Violet, Laddie, Margy, and their younger brother Mun Bun—who venture on various adventures during their family trips. In this installment, the children travel to Cousin Tom's seaside cottage, where they eagerly anticipate digging for treasure in the sand and enjoying summer fun. At the start of the tale, the Bunkers are enjoying a sunny day at Aunt Jo's house, planning a playful soap bubble party when they receive news of their upcoming trip to Cousin Tom's. As the children engage in lighthearted banter and dig holes in search of treasure, they meet a local boy, Sammie, who tells them about his father's adventurous past of finding gold on a deserted island. Inspired by these tales of adventure, the Bunkers prepare to journey to the seashore, longing for the excitement of treasure hunting while navigating the whims of childhood curiosity, imaginative games, and the loving guidance of their family.
