Return to Donkey Gulch depicts the adventure of seven year old Cade Walker and his father author Sam Walker and Sam's two best friends (Big) Mike Barber and June ( Low to the ground) Luke. Sam Walker is the author of dozens of Ghost town stories. His latest article is going to be on the abandonmining town, Donkey Gulch, Utah.

Sam and the boys had ten days to explore the town and surrounding area, and to pan for gold and treasure hunt with Mike's metal detector, but Cade's favorite time came at night when they would all gather around the fire pit to read from Sheriff Elis B. Underwood's journal. They began to find clues to the hundred and twenty five year old mystery. They decided to try and solve the case of the missing school teacher.
