After a lengthy delay, Mr. Livingston arrives with unexpected news: a planned canoe trip to Minnesota has been canceled and instead, he invites the Scouts to join an expedition to Peru. The mission revolves around not only the search for Monahan but also involves deciphering an ancient parchment believed to contain clues about a hidden Inca temple. However, the boys, enthusiastic and idealistic, are soon faced with the complexities of dealing with a potentially shady character, Captain Carter, and navigating the dangers of their upcoming adventure as they strive to unpack the mystery surrounding Monahan’s disappearance.
