"Too Many Treasures" is the fifth episode of the first season of Craig of the Creek.
Synopsis[]
Hoping to fix the fort, Craig enlists the 10 Speeds for a ride to the legendary Junk Pile.[1]
Plot[]
Craig collects various discarded objects he finds, such as used chewing gum from under a table, red pepper flakes from Pasta la Vista, and a used stick of lip balm on top of a sewer grate, calling them treasures. His mom enters his room, asking if he has seen her scarf. She opens his closet door, causing dozens of items to fall out. Nicole tells him he can't keep so many items in there, but he compares his collection to Grandad's workshop. Unconvinced, she tells him to look through the items and classify them as "wants" or "needs". She gives him an ultimatum to clean out the closet or she will throw it all away. Craig insists he needs everything in it as he drags away his overstuffed frame purse.
At the Stump, Craig greets Kelsey and J.P., who have broken the entry chairlift. Nothing in his purse can fix it, so they talk to the 10 Speeds. Handlebarb, whose bike suffered a flat, directs them to the Junk Pile, but it is too far away to walk. Craig offers to fix her tire in exchange for a ride. Using a slide whistle and chewing gum, he reinflates and patches it.
On the way to the Junk Pile, the Stump Kids and 10 Speeds come across a kid with his head stuck between two tree branches. Everyone except Craig insists they continue, but he gets an idea. He uses the lip balm to loosen the kid's head and red pepper flakes to make him sneeze. He lands on top of J.P. The kid thanks Craig, and gives him acorns. Craig barely manages to stuff them in his bag.
The Stump Kids and 10 Speeds arrive at the entrance to the Junk Pile. Dozens of signs are posted reading "10 Thieves", scaring the 10 Speeds off. The Stump Kids enter and find a wheel, but it won't fit in Craig's purse. A voice from behind tells Craig to put it back. The Stump Kids turn around to face the Junk Lord, who accuses them of belonging to the 10 Speeds. Craig apologizes and asks if he can have the wheel, but the Junk Lord refuses. He explains that he has found many useful items hidden among the junk, but once he uncovers them Creek Kids show up wanting them back. He demands payback in the form of the contents of Craig's purse.
The Junk Lord chases Craig through the Junk Pile. Craig hops in a boat, which slides down a ramp to the edge of a cliff. Thinking he lost the Junk Lord, Craig turns around, only to see that he was in the boat too. The Junk Lord snatches the wheel back. The boat starts to teeter. Craig tells the Junk Lord to toss the wheel, but he refuses. Craig starts looking through his bag, tossing out items that are "wants" rather than "needs". As he does so, the boat tilts back up, allowing them to dive off just before the boat falls and explodes.
The Junk Lord compliments Craig for being willing to discard his things when he wouldn't do the same. He allows Craig to take what he wants. Kelsey and J.P. suddenly show up, wielding weapons fashioned out of the junk, but Craig tells them he made up.
Craig uses the bike wheel to fix the chairlift. He returns home and tells his mom that he sorted through his treasures, finding her scarf in the process. However, she has ordered another one, so she lets Craig keep it. He puts it on, and Nicole compliments his look.
