Molly's family is revealed to be members of a secret society known as the Starcatchers, who are tasked with keeping Starstuff out of the wrong hands. Molly confides to Peter that the trunk contains "starstuff," magical dust of extraordinary power that falls from the heavens. Black Stache and Aster realize that the trunk is a decoy and the actual treasure is on board the Never Land. Black Stache opens the trunk only to find it filled with sand.
Black Stache manages to run down and board the Wasp, and Leonard Aster, Molly's father, attempts and fails to escape with the trunk. Meanwhile, the feared pirate Black Stache hears of a similar trunk containing a great treasure on board another ship, the Wasp. While searching for food, Peter encounters a mysterious trunk and its guardian, Molly Aster, a girl about his age. In 19th century London, orphaned boys Peter, James, Thomas, Prentiss, and Tubby Ted are shipped out on the decrepit ship Never Land.
