This episode was a childish morality tale about greed. Ruby Mae and two of her best friends in the cove happen to find gold nuggets in a stream, and begin to call themselves princesses, considering themselves royalty because of their newfound wealth. Not surprisingly, this sets up resentment, jealousy, and hurt among the rest of the children. Meanwhile, a newcomer to the cove comes to stay at the mission house, and Christy has a strong suspicion that the gold is his--but he doesn't claim it. Just like all the rest of these stories, lessons are learned and things turn out all right in the end.

Ruby Mae, Bessie and Clara discover some gold nuggets in Dead Man's Creek... get a bit carried away with their find and establish a Princess Club with just 3 members. The Gold actually belongs to someone else who turns up at the mission and eventually claims the gold, but in the meantime the cat is out of the bag, and lots of mountain folk go prospecting and actually hold a gun to Christy's head trying to obtain the gold.
