When Pauline Precious inherits her grandfather’s estate, she tumbles into an evil plot filled with zany excitement. The yucky Baroness of Braunschweiger also has her eyes set on the treasure. Along with her bumbling helpers, she tries to snatch the treasure away from poor Pauline. Enter our hero, Inspector Detector, who is prepared to solve mystery after mystery (such as the haunting ghost) and defeat the Baroness and her unsteady duo.

This entertaining family play, filled with a spirited amount of interaction between actors and audience (including chase scenes through the audience) invites everyone to help locate the hidden treasure. Where is it? And for goodness sake, what is it?

Cast members for the production include Dustin Luckey, Jessica Wilson, Jacob VanDyke, Amy Niemerg, Emily Strong, Heather Parker, Taylor Holste, Kelsey Miller, Nicole Roman, Alicia Jenkins and Jordan Kritz.
