| Synopsis | Uncle Harry's entire estate has been turned into an amusement park called Moodyland. Mr. Sharp owns a rival amusement park across the lake and has been wanting to buy out Uncle Harry, but he refuses to sell. Harry and the boys see black smoke pouring out of the train station and they think it's on fire, but it's only Cousin Fud trying to start up the steam engine for the new season.

| Notes | The last time we saw Uncle Harry, Will and Jody in Treasure Chest was back in 1960, when Uncle Harry had just inherited his grandfather's unusual estate, which includes a narrow-gauge railroad that climbs back into the hills to an old silver mine and a great underground cavern. Cousin Fud looks very much like another Treasure Chest character, Frimson (The Champ) Wooters. |
