The boys' lives are in danger when they're trapped in the Cave of the Winds. While searching for a way out of the cave, Cartman discovers treasure. After the cave-in, all the exits are blocked off and Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman are all alone. Only one person knows they’re trapped under all the debris and he’s not telling. Cartman‘s only thought is how to get the treasure out without sharing it with the rest of the boys. |

| Trivia |
- The hunt for ManBearPig signifies Al Gore's fight for global warming awareness rather uncogently. At the end of the episode, when he says he wants to make a movie starring himself about a subject other than "MBP" (ManBearPig) it refers to the indie movie An Inconvenient Truth, set to open (at the time of airing) on May 26, 2006. His appeal to the boys can be compared with his attempts at winning youth support through his television network, Current TV.
- The boys visit the Cave of the Winds, an attraction near Colorado Springs. This is the second episode based around a visit to a real-life Colorado location (the first being "Casa Bonita").
- The fake treasure in the Cave of the Winds is reminiscent of the "gold" in City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold.
- This episode shows the creators' dissatisfaction at An Inconvenient Truth winning of Best Documentary and Best Song at the Academy Awards.
- Al Gore's abbreviation of ManBearPig, MBP, is incidentally an actual term used when researching the recession of glaciers, Mass Balance Potential.
- In one scene a sticker for the fictional Film Actors' Guild (or F.A.G.) can be seen - a reference to Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Team America: World Police.
- The music that plays when Al Gore approaches the children dressed as ManBearPig is from Halloween.
- Al Gore uses the word "serial" in place of "serious" and "seriously" in the episode. This is in reference to his gaffe on The Oprah Winfrey Show when he was asked for his favorite cereal, to which he answered "Oprah", clearly mistaking the word "cereal" for "serial".
