A famed detective leads a small party into the Himalayan foothills to locate a missing man and an embezzler believed to have fled into a secretive region where inhabitants venerate a golden scarab. Companions debate whether to press on, weighing moral duty, professional obligation, and the lure of adventure, while opting for stealthy strategy over direct assault against spear-armed tribes said to use poisoned arrows. Episodes move between campfire planning and hints of the hidden land’s mysteries as the group prepares for a perilous approach to uncover the truth and bring the fugitive to justice.
