While Nigel rehearses his keynote speech in a Seville hotel room, a woman nearly breaks his nose demanding something. It turns out she was after the water from the Fountain of Youth, which the dying explorer Ponce de Leon sent to the Spanish king, who sent one bottle via the English ambassador to Elizabeth I. Nigel's brother Preston is desperate to find it in order to save his British Museum job. As Duke Andrew, the ambassador's heir, only agreed to see him within 48 hours, Preston and Sydney are off to England. Nigel stays for his speech and equally disastrous workshop but joins them by the time they are scheming against Sean James, a rival relic hunter and the duke's gambling creditor.
