[edit] Plot of the movie version
Warden Walker's wealthy grandfather, Trout Walker (Scott Plank), was a native of Green Lake who married a woman named Linda (Allison Smith) Born in the 1960s, Warden Walker as a child helped Trout dig for hidden treasure that Kathryn "Kissin' Kate" Barlow (Patricia Arquette) had buried somewhere in the vicinity of Green Lake. After much hard work and no treasure, she renamed the location as '"Camp Green Lake," where "bad kids" could dig to find the treasure, and, if they found it, give to the warden.
Later, a boy named Stanley Yelnats arrives at the camp and reveals that his great-grandfather, Stanley Yelnats I, when traveling from New York to California, had been robbed by Barlow, who buried the loot somewhere in Green Lake after her death.
