Joe realized too late: he's not destined to be the next Brad Pitt. His destiny instead lies within the crumbling walls of Dinosaur Dreams, an outdated theme park with more violations than patrons. He wears a T-Rex outfit, doing tricks in an attempt to drum up publicity. His income dwindles as inspectors threaten to shut it down. One day he catches a reporter, Riley, snooping with a metal detector. She tells him she's looking for a legendary harmonica, which can cause landslides by reverberating at Earth's natural frequencies, purportedly buried on the grounds. Joe schemes to host a massive treasure hunt where he charges admission for a chance to locate the harmonica. He wants Riley to write a front-page story about it. She reluctantly agrees. But as treasure seekers pour in and Joe makes money, he worries someone will actually find the harmonica and his newly lucrative park will fail. He is determined to find it, digging all night. Riley competes with him, desperately racing to find it first. She rents a bulldozer and tears down his house, thinking he's already found it and hidden it. Then, gangsters raid the park, holding them hostage, searching for the harmonica themselves. They want to use it to find buried treasure by making landslides. Amidst wreckage of house and theme park, can Joe and Riley band together in time to dodge gangsters, find the harmonica, reveal the absurd truth of what everyone's been looking for and even fall in love?
