The girls are vacationing in a pirate''s home, and Sam convinces them to look of buried treasure.

Sam: Dog Detective is back in a ghostly adventure that occurs during summer vacation at a spooky old mansion built by a pirate.

Jennie Levinsky has an amazing secret -- and only her best friend, Beth, knows about it. Jennie can "hear" what her neighbor''s sheepdog, Sam, is thinking! And what Sam is usually thinking is how to find fame and fortune as a world-famous detective. With Sam: Dog Detective as their fearless leader, the girls snoop their way into trouble, but quick thinking and swift action always lead them to safety. In Spying on Dracula, Sam''s dismay over moving to Woodford is quickly forgotten when Jennie shows her the creepiest house in town. Since the house is always dark, surrounded by bats and inhabited by a frightening creature, Sam comes to the only logical conclusion: Dracula lives in Woodford!
