The Story

After reading an newspaper article about a boy finding treasure, Buster decides to have a go. He starts digging, but in the first instance only finds an dog's bone stash. The dog isn't happy about that! Whilst running away, Buster trips over something in the ground. Thinking it's a handle to a Roman vase, Buster digs it up, but finds it's just an old kettle. He throws it away but it hits Masher Mulligan, who throws it back!

Buster decides to have one last go but hits a water pipe. The water board sends the hefty bill to Buster's Mum who angrily makes Buster cough up. Instead of finding a fortune, Buster's lost one!
