The book details a journey by the author, with his friend Harris (a character created for the book, and based on his closest friend, Joseph Twichell), through central and southern Europe.

…But not all of the jewels were eggs, some of them were real. But it is very difficult to distinguish them. Untouched, the real ones lay in the ground, waiting for their master. When a car drove up and the people in black were looking for treasure, they found nothing: neither gold, nor a mysterious hole — a door to another world. It is locked for an indefinite time.
