Tired of working for an uncle who belittles him, Carlo decides to seek adventure, following a treasure map he's found. He travels the Road of Golden Dreams, a famed trade route, hoping to unearth the "Royal Treasury," a fortune that may be just a myth. Along the way, Carlo acquires companions-the world's worst camel-puller, a beautiful girl making her way home, and a dreamy, happy-go-lucky old man. It's not until the travelers are attacked by bandits and lost in the desert that Carlo learns his map is utterly useless.
