When Mr. Martin hired Tomas, his son's best friend, to clear out his family's old vacant store, he was just trying to get an unsafe and dirty job done on the cheap. He told Tomas he could keep anything he found, but the offer backfires when the boy finds six valuable boxes of old Topps baseball cards in pristine condition. The cards are worth millions, and now Mr. Martin wants them as his own ... soon everyone in the small town starts taking sides or trying to get their hands on the unexpected windfall.
