The kids are puzzled: what if it was Floopaloo? |Squeak unearths a big truffle at the foot of an oak tree. Ignatius is in seventh heaven, he is sure the truffle is worth a fortune, enough money to get all the repairs done and make things look like new in the camp.

Bryan drives Ignatius so totally crazy that the latter screams to him that if it's going to be like that, why doesn't he take his place and he, Ignatius, will go on vacation. So there!

Today's activity is going to be 'let's change roles !'. | Bryan puts paint in Ignatius's whistle.

Only one way round this: she has to sabotage Ignatius' expedition...

Floopaloo stops the source to prevent the grownups from noticing the river's colourful capriciousness, drying up the camp's supply. |Bryan is showing off with the super kite he made all by himself. Suddenly, the wind disappears causing the kite to hurtle down to the ground. While searching, the kids discover a big rock wall with what looks like a door carved into it.

Annette has disappeared! Beryl and Ignatius are in a state of panic when the kids discover strange footprints near her cabin...

The two girls start fantasizing, and ask Beryl and Ignatius to take them on the lake.
