Description:

When a mysterious old treasure map shows up in Odyssey, Mr. Whittaker, Dylan, Connie, and Eugene embark on a perilous journey that leads them to the caves of Qumran in Palestine.

 

The search for hidden treasure explodes into a harrowing adventure as Whit and the gang narrowly escape dangerous traps and solve mysterious clues to reach a secret inner chamber of the cave.

 

But a sinister Mr. Faustus and his cronies are also hot on the trail! Who will find the treasure first? Will it be gold and riches - or something even better?

 

Travel with the Odyssey gang to the ancient caves of Qumran, where mystery, intrigue, and excitement abound in this new, high-action adventure in Odyssey.

Rating:

*****

In general, the acting as a whole is horrible and downgrades the production. Roughly based on The Treasure of LeMonde!, this video adaptation points out many scripture passages with explanations, a bonus, and also brings back an old nemesis. The artistry isn't too bad and is better than previous editions of the New Series. Whit's enthusiasm in this episode is close to none, thus, ruining the believability of the show. His reactions to certain events in the story point the viewer to believe that he is saying, "Dylan. Stop. - rather than "Dylan! Stop!" It has affected the quality of this production in a major way.
