The Goonies Scene 8 Summary

  • To the attic they go. Inside, they come across some genuinely cool stuff: pirate hats, swords, ship wheels, and what appears to be some sort of Zoltar machine in the back.
  • Mikey stumbles upon an old picture frame, and notices there's a map beneath the glass. After commissioning clumsy Chunk to break said glass, the Goonies look the artifact over.
  • It's a map to the storied treasure of One-Eyed Willy—a treasure that, according to Brand, hundreds of people went looking for years ago and never found.
  • As legend has it, the treasure is on Willy's ship somewhere in Astoria—the Goonies' hometown—but the exact location is unknown, and it's hidden beyond a series of tunnels and protected by booby traps. Sounds like a job for the Goonies. (Just us?)
  • The boys then discover an old newspaper article about a man named Chester Copperpot, who claimed to "have the key to One-Eyed Willy."
  • As the doorbell rings and everyone heads back downstairs, Mikey picks up a single doubloon that was also hidden behind the glass.
