Ms. Derring's friend Mr. Smith blows his whistle and kids began to find the items. Mackenzie found her first item, a soccer ball, in a bush, then Jessa found a paint palette hanging on the tree branch.
Both Chip and Sam found a toy cruise ship and argue on who found it first, only for Celia to calm them down using the first item she found, which is a toy cellphone and she claims that Sam found it first, disappointing Chip.
Rose and Petunia are trying to find their first items, then Petunia notices a Captain Chaser action figure, but Brad quickly grabs it. Petunia soon finds a toy camera hanging next to the school bell, only for Ernie to grab it before her. 
Meanwhile in somewhere far away from Butterfly Valley, a team of butterfly fairy archeologists, led by Rob Robertson, are trying to find a very sacred treasure in a mysterious temple. One of the archeologists named Abigail Steele points out a mysterious temple and Robertson tries to figure out the code to open the gate.
The archeologists walk around the temple and find some ancient relics to keep in the collection. Robertson asks Steele if she finds the sacred scroll and she thinks she found it, but turns out to be just a blank piece of paper.
The archeologists went to a strange-looking throne room and Robinson found an unusual scroll. He opens it and reads the script written on it. The scroll says:
"Be wary, butterfly fairies. You sould not open the scroll, or it will strike a curse on you."
Nevertheless, Robertson keeps the scroll in his coat and the archelologists return to Butterfly Valley, but the scroll suddenly begins to glow. 
Rose and Petunia, having a hard time finding items. have nothing found so far, until Rose finds a toy butterfly, making Petunia upset. Petunia went to Ms. Derring and tells her that she was unable to find anything. Derring reminds her to never give up on anything, since it's her only chance to find any item.
Petunia soon run very fast, much to the other kids's surprise, as she quickly find a toy guitar, a giraffe stuffed doll, a toy laser gun, a toy cooking set and Captain Chaser and Bristle Boy action figures.
The kids went to Ms. Derring and show her the items they found. It turns out Petunia has the most items, thus she won the BVMS Treasure Hunt and the kids and Ms. Derring congratulate her. Derring bestows a homemade trophy to Petunia and she lifts it up in triumph.
Rose asks Petunia is she wants to visit Butterfly Valley, so she can tell the butterfly fairies about the school treasure hunt and she agree with her, so she grabs her magic flower and the twins went to Butterfly Valley.
The twins greet Bluebell, who is reading her favorite storybook. Rose informs Bluebell about Petunia's triumph at the BVMS Treasure Hunt and she congratulates her for this.
The archeologists return to Butterfly Valley and Robertson shows the butterfly fairies the cursed scroll. Rose reads the script and suddenly, some dark and murky clouds appear over Butterfly Valley.
The butterfly fairies, except for Bluebell and the archeologists, transform to butterflies and flee to their abodes, while the twins, Bluebell and the archeologists quickly run to the tool shed.
The archeologists began to shiver in fear as Bluebell tries to calm them down. Rose ponders about some way to reverse the curse on the butterfly fairies.
The troll guards, who are sporting raincoats, try to find the butterfly fairies, but they are unable to withstand the strong storm caused by the cursed scroll, but a troll guard find the scroll.
The troll guards wonder how does the scroll works and they read the script. Realizing that the scroll can cause bad luck to not only the butterfly fairies, but also humans and the trolls, the troll guards try to destroy it, in hopes of reversing the curse.
The cursed scroll somewhat happens to be very indestructible as it glows more, causing lava to sprout from the ground. Everyone in Butterfly Valley are panicking in horror, but as the troll guards struggle to destroy the scroll, King Boogieman and Queen Peregia came and the troll guards plead them to reverse the curse.
Boogieman picks up the cursed scroll and says the following magical spiel:
"In the name of our dear Lord, please stop the curse. We want love and peace again."
And so, the curse was finally reversed. The storms disappear, the sky turns bright and the sun shines again. The butterfly fairies return outside and everybody, including the trolls, are relieved about the now-reversed curse.
Rose and Petunia came and thank King Boogieman for reversing the curse. Boogieman blushes in reluctance, since he gets the credit for reversing the curse. The twins went to Bluebell and the archeologists, who are glad that the curse is gone.
Robertson throws the now-deactivated cursed scroll away and Bluebell and the archeologists thank Rose and Petunia for reversing the curse, but Petunia tells them to thank King Boogieman for this. The butterfly fairies are confused, then Rose tells them not to worry abut the trolls if they do good thing to them, much to their relief. The twins bid farewell to the butterfly fairies and the trolls and return home using the magic flower.
The kids went to Rose and Petunia and ask if they want to join in for another treasure hunt at Mackenzie's backyard. The twins are shocked that there's another treasure hunt going on in Sideview Beach, then Mackenzie tells them that it's just for fun. The twins realize this and the kids went to Mackenzie's backyard as the episode ends.

*Rob Robertson appears in this episode, despite not appearing, nor being mentioned, in the original episode.
*The archeologists went to an ancient temple to find the cursed scroll in this episode, whereas in the original version, they went to a prehistoric cave to find it.
*The curse appears to be less dramatic compared to the original version.
*King Boogieman managed to reverse the curse, whereas in the original episode, he is unable to do so, so he needs help from the twins.
==Trivia==
*This episode was included in the VHS compilation video The Best of Butterfly Valley Vol. 3.
*This is the first physical appearance of Rob Robertson, since he was only mentioned in "The Explorer Robertson," the sixth episode of the 1969 series.
*The school teacher Ms. Derring makes her first appearance in this episode.
*This marks the first time in the 1998 series, and to the lesser extent, the entire franchise, where a character (King Boogieman in this case) clearly mentioned God. This never happened in the 1969 series.
===Censorship===
This episode was banned in some countries, particularly Malaysia and the Philippines, probably due to the scene involving Butterfly Valley being destroyed in a huge natural disaster caused by the cursed scroll.
