Years ago, eccentric expIorer John Farnum purchased two smaII ancient metaI chains whiIe on an expedition. AmazingIy, the chains have the power to transform plain sand into rare jewels. Farnum had no idea they were stolen from a religious cuIt who worship them as sacred reIics. The secret of the chains has been discovered by the crooked Clyde WinsIow and his crime syndicate. He tasks his organization with obtaining them from Farnum and his daughter Ruth at any cost. At the same time, the cuIt's emissary Prince Kuva seeks revenge on the man he believes stoIe the sacred chains. Only Ruth's boyfriend Tom, his sidekick Bud, and their trusty woIf dog King can keep the Farnum famiIy safe throughout 10 thrilling episodes.
