Al and Owen decide to revisit the Dragon Blood Islands. This time they find themselves in the Elephant Temple on Sabre Island, where they meet up with Mahoot and his grandfather. Before long, however, they are being attacked by the evil Captain Blacktooth, who wants to steal the one remaining emerald eye of the elephant idol. However, the emerald is missing and Grandfather refuses to tell Captain Blacktooth where it is. Just then, a harrowing shriek erupts from the idol, prompting Blacktooth and his crew to run for their lives.
Dan Jerris passion for the sea faring world came about from his many adventures on the high seas; meeting sharks face-to-face, sailing over dangerous reefs, and being held at gunpoint near an island where pirates still roam. His boat has nearly sunk many times, but each time the luck of the sea has saved him.
