Synopsis
While in New Mexico, the kids stop for gas in a weird small town. First, there aren't any grown-ups around, only children, and then a building catches on fire. When Roadie and Wheels try to put the fire out, they find out that the fire isn't real. Then a ghost appears. A magician named Zoltan appears and tells them there are evil spirits in the town that he and the adults are vanquishing and that the Darrets should get out of town. The kids call Uncle Zach and find out that Morseville is a superstitious town and that Zoltan is conning the townspeople. The kids have to expose Zoltan as a fraud and find the townspeople. The kids go out in Roadie and Wheels and spot Zoltan's van. They follow him, stop him, and then are attacked by a monster. Then the monster and Daisy vanish. Kuma finds a movie projector in the rocks, which had been showing the monster. Daisy is taken to a mine by Zoltan's assistant, where the townspeople are digging for gold. The mine is actually an underground ghost town and Zoltan has convinced them that the gold is filled with evil spirits. But, it starts to rain heavily and the underground town begins to flood. Dan and Tess show the kids in the town the movie of the monster and they finally tell them where Zoltan took their parents. On the way there, they spot Zoltan making his get away. Dan chases after him while Tess heads to the mine. Zoltan's van gets stuck in a ditch near some train tracks, but he jumps onto a train passing by with a stack of gold nuggets. Meanwhile, the water is nearly to the top of the mine when Tess and Wheels rescue Daisy and the townpeople. Dan chases after Zoltan, who nearly falls off the train. He has to drop the gold so that Dan can pull him up.

Production notes
This is the story of the Pole Position Stunt Show, a stunt racing and daredevil family team which has been putting on thrilling shows of automotive acrobatics almost as long as there have been cars. The Pole Position Stunt show is run by Dan Darret and his two sisters, Tess and Daisy, after their parents disappear in an unexplained explosion during a stunt race. Their uncle, Dr. Zacchary, reveals that their parents were using the stunt show as a cover for a crime-fighting organization, privately funded and working in cooperation with the government, using the cutting edge of technology to combat crime. The kids vow to carry on their parents' work. Along with pet Kuma and two computerized cars, Roadie and Wheels, they become the New Pole Position Force.
