"General Washington has no
money to pay his discouraged troops and twins Sally and Roger
are asked by their father, General Priestly, to help hide a
shipment of gold which will be used to pay the American
soldiers. Unfortunately, British spies have also learned about
the gold and will stop at nothing to prevent it from reaching
General Washington. Based on a true story, this is a thrilling
episode from our nation’s history!"
