Ralph Logan is proverbially a man from another era in being a gold prospector, his pans for gold in the river netting him a few dollars here and there, he using the gold dust as legal tender at his local gas bar to purchase a meager amount of groceries. Gold is probably what brought him to the interior of British Columbia from his native Britain thirty years ago in that his long deceased father deeded him a gold mine, Little Lemon, which purportedly has three hundred pounds of gold buried in it. He, not even having seen the mine, has never had the wherewithal or the will to do anything about the possibility of the gold, that is until he meets drifter Mazella, whose latest obsession is the abandoned mines of the Pacific Northwest. Mazella offers to be his one-third partner in the stake of the mine for his one-third labor, one-third expertise, and transportation to and from on his modified motortrike which he drove from New York. The other one-third somewhat reluctant partner is Logan's seemingly always angry girlfriend Gladys, who doesn't really believe there is gold but who has a case of FOMO. They get into one misadventure after another in their literal and proverbial journey in their differences, the first issue being to find the mine as Logan can't remember where he placed the map to its location.
