Guy would dearly love to find the treasure to help financially support his father. Luckily, Guy’s father has a friend who is a sea captain and happens to be heading to Bombay. Guy travels to Bombay as a passenger and, while in Bombay, a life-changing event occurs. Will Guy’s honesty, righteousness and business acumen help him to foil bullies and win the respect of those who could aid him in his quest? Will some of these men turn on him?
