Pablo is teased by other boys at school and called "Duct Tape" because his family is so poor that he has to use duct tape to keep his shoes from falling apart. When Pablo finds a gold coin on the bottom of Harper's Hole while he is on a swimming trip with his sister, Pia, he decides that the coin must be part of a lost treasure supposedly hidden in a cave by the Jesse James Gang.
