Her family, including mother Kathryn and older sister Susan, has trouble adjusting to life in a small town.

The story opens with a 16th century Spanish sailors landing their launch on the beach of Manzanita. They carry a treasure chest up Neahkahnie Mountain, leading a manacled black slave. The treasure is buried and the slave killed and laid on top of the ground to "guard" the treasure and frighten the Indians away.

The Elk becomes Julie's silent, watchful guide and protector as she becomes fascinated by the legend of the Tillamook Treasure and ... Written by Richard Doyon
The first thing that struck me was the cozy glow of the Pacific Northwest. You can almost smell the fresh air! The movie was cute and engaging and a refreshing change with just enough suspense. What a great escape. I especially enjoyed Suzanne's performance however all the actors did a great job. Dealing with common family issues such as family arguments, talk of divorce, finding your first love, going to college and wanting to be famous, this movie is perfect for the family. The children and young teens that went to see it at the screening that I went to were enthralled with it and all ran very fast up to the front to get autographs.
