They accidently learn their great-great-great-grandfather, William Kayne, was hanged for murdering the sheriff of Dry Glutch, California in 1873.

Scooter and Mary leave their Iowa home to visit Uncle Armando and Cousin Carlos in the historic gold rush country of Northern California determined to learn the truth about their long dead relative. Carlos and his friend, 3J, lead Scooter and Mary on horseback to the "Hanging Tree," which Scooter soon believes is haunted with William Kayne's spirit.
