Chase Landon is a poor boy ridiculed by everyone in his village. His fiancée, Melanie Lewis, breaks up with him on the spot for spending 30,000 dollars to lease a stinky pond, and gets together with the nouveau riche Dylan Shaw. Guided by his grandfather's last words, Chase Landon grits his teeth and perseveres. After draining the pond, he unearths three boxes of priceless Ming Dynasty treasures—gold ingots, jewelry, and blue and white porcelain.
