Arrival and strange warnings

First treasure clue uncovered

In the kitchen they discover proof that the jewel treasure is real—a diamond ring and a letter from the late Colonel with a treasure clue. The discovery motivates the gang to start a treasure hunt, despite Farquard's protests and Sheriff Buzby's warning about the ape on the loose. The hunt expands to the mansion and plantation.
