The kids know Duneedon is leading a conspiracy to change the history of Herbertville, but they have very little evidence to go by. And that very little evidence is lost soon after Captain Hook materializes in the Coach House. With Chris and Sam watching from afar, Duncan O'Reagan secretly returns to the Coach House to steal Early Country Travels, the kids' only proof of the conspiracy. Before leaving, O'Reagan is surprised to see Captain Hook, who questions the contract agreement Duneedon had drawn up with O'Reagan. Will he get his fair share once the conspiracy works?
