Synopsis
The chief marches Mickey and Goofy (carrying the found totem pole) into a hidden tropical valley heated by volcanic hot springs. Skulk and Tiny follow but are scared off by a crocodile. Mickey and Goofy find they are to be kept as prisoners sentenced to hard labor, so that no outsiders can learn of the tribe's valley and their gold. Mickey tries floating a note out of the valley, but it floats back... because the river is suddenly backing-up with volcanically heated water, which will flood the valley and boil its inhabitants alive.
