In 1937, Doc Noss--part-adventurer, part-conman--discovered fabulous treasure inside the caverns of New Mexicos Victorio Peak. He dynamited the tunnel to hide the treasure from other treasure hunters. At least thats what he said happened. Decades later his grandson decides to find that treasure. He found money and support to follow his dream and overcome many obstacles--bad weather, broken equipment, the Army, and Congress. But Victorio Peak would not give up its treasure.
