loyalty, doing the right thing, and making a difference.

Their plans are interrupted when a proposed picnic
near the Hollywood sign leads them to a hidden
tunnel, an underground facility, and an unexpected
adventure.

Agency, headed by a surprising leader, thinks
they're just the right people to help stop a series
of gem robberies. Five gems from a set of eight
have been stolen. If the scoundrels can obtain
the last three, the world will be in peril. Excited at
the prospect and wanting to do the right thing,
Barbie and her friends agree. Only Theresa,
slightly fearful, needs coaxing. The eager girls
train, receive amazing gadgets and spy gear, and
