Original Title: 'Gold Seekers and Bread Winner' or 'There's No Place Like Home' German to English translation of 1868 original In their search for El Dorado - the land of gold - three young men leave the safety and security of their German homeland to venture to the land beyond "the Golden Gateway." What adventures and dangers await them! All the talk about seeking one's fortune and finding good luck creeps into their treasure-hunting souls, leading them further away from life's real treasure. High in the Sierra Nevada they trek, heavy-laden with pickaxes, spades, and a good dose of much-needed courage. The sun beats down, and the shots of bandits whiz around their heads, yet dreams of gold dazzle them as they press on. The moment finally comes when their eyes gleam with wild delight! But all too soon they realize that man's detestable greed brings with it scattered dust and shattered dreams.
