The episode begins with Elmo getting ready to go on a treasure hunt adventure with his friends, the Bookeneers. The Bookeneers are a group of pirate-like creatures who love nothing more than finding hidden treasures.

Using their shovels and pickaxes, they start to dig, and after a few minutes of hard work, they finally uncover the treasure chest.
