Donald, a museum janitor, discovers that some "blocks" from Inca ruins are actually square eggs. When the other members of a scientific expedition fall ill, Donald and the nephews press on alone deep into the Andes. They find the hidden land of "Plain Awful", inhabited by a strange race of short, block-like people who speak with American southern accents, live on the square eggs, and are obsessed with all things square.
