In Magnesia Pamberbilt's attic, Walter Melon discovers a letter from Magnesia's aunt which says she has inherited a mine discovered by her uncle and his colleague, Colorado Jules, in faraway Messaplato. A large diamond falls from the binding of the book, so they assume it is a diamond mine. Soon Magnesia is packed for an expedition, and she sends Walter home to get a toothbrush. By the time Walter gets to the airport Magnesia has left for South America, so he follows on a later flight. He makes contact with an old friend of his father's, Arthur the Duke of Booswallow, who offers to help. Soon at least two parties have heard about the diamond mine and are following Walter and Arthur.
