Jet and Amanda's feud comes to a head over an extended incident involving a broken window, an exploded car, and a charge of sexual assault with a candy Batman. Amanda is obsessed with finding the treasure of her infamous ancestor Spivey Spillane. Meanwhile in the present, seventeen-year-olds Amanda and Jet have rekindled an old childhood rivalry. Despite the indignities Spillane suffers, he chases Sam across Gold-Rush-era California because Sam is the only one who knows the location of a hidden fortune buried somewhere in the hills. Sam robs a bank under Spillane's name, casts him in an obscene one-man play wearing only a pink tutu, and starts a betting pool on how many wieners he has. She may have had a hand in winning the Revolutionary War, but even she never met the likes of Alabama Sam. Spivey Spillane's grandmammy always said there were only two good reasons to kill a man - for cheating on a woman, and for serving drinks to a Yankee.
