Publisher's Synopsis
Three teenage boys, Nort and Dick Shannon and their friend Bud Merkel, find themselves in the middle of the forbidding Gila Desert on an adventure that will, they hope, lead them to the fabled riches of desert gold. Their guides, Hank Crosby and Billee Dobb, accompany them through blistering heat, savage sandstorms, and the dangers posed by the eveil Del Pinzo and his sinister Indian companion, Zapto, men who want the treasure for themselves. A brilliant, witty, yet fond burlesque of boys' adventure books.
