Every year, the barron's land holdings increase as farmer after farmer is forced to sell. After the death of a young boy who drank from a bacteria-ravaged well, Bastian decides to take matters into his own hands. With the help of a treasure map found amongst family belongings, Bastian learns the whereabouts of gold hidden on his father's ship. He takes a job on a vessel transporting cargo to various islands in the Caribbean in hopes of locating his father's sunken ship. During a big storm at sea, Bastian saves an albatross named Zwazo from an almost certain death. The pair quickly form a close bond because Zwazo always seems to be around to help in times of danger.
