This Discovery Channel production interrogates myths that have long inhabited children's tales and popular cinema. After Europeans first settled in their land, the Natives of Catalina Island began a hunt for buried treasure. To this day, historians are unsure whether the treasure hunt by the aboriginal community was based on real information, or a fantasy devised to torture greedy sailors.
