Treasure in the Royal Tower
During his childhood, Jacques' dying grandfather revealed to him that he had been assigned to transport Marie Antoinette's famous tower to Winsconsin. His grandfather said that he had found a hidden compartment containing the French Queen's journal and a jeweled medallion. His grandfather gave him the medallion and told him to find the journal.

Forgetting about it for many years, Jacques was able to enter the Olympics as a skier. But, after humiliating defeat, Jacques promissed his fiancee that he would return and then left for Wisconsin. He found that the tower had been attached to Wickford Castle, which had been renovated into a hotel. Jacques convinced the owner to let him stay at the castle and offer ski lessons.

Every night, Jacques would continue to search through the castle in an attempt to find the entrance to the Royal Tower. One night, he discovered an underground doungeon with a metal gate. For several nights in a row, he spent hours trying to saw through the bars, believing the Tower's entrance was on the other side.

He was eventually found by amateur detective and hotel guest Nancy Drew. He confessed his story to Nancy and agreed to find less destructive means of reaching the Tower. He sent Nancy to get his medallion out of his locker, but when she got, she was knocked unconscious by a certain someone.
