Mabel plans to bring the joys of volunteering to the masses...if she doesn't call victim to an ancient curse first.

A university archeology team has come to excavate an old privy on the grounds of the Thompson estate, home of Medicine Spring's first white settler. They hope to retrieve items of historic interest, but rumors of lost treasure and dark curses swirl around the project.

Mabel has joined the dig as a volunteer, despite her reluctance to touch anything collected from the ancient outhouse pit. It doesn't take long, however, before she realizes a few dirt encrusted artifacts are the least of her worries.

She doesn't believe in curses, but accidents and misfortune plague team members, including Mabel herself. She begins to wonder if there might be some truth in the old stories. When a body turns up on the site, it appears the curse has transformed from local legend into deadly reality.

Will Mabel be its next victim?
