William Legrand becomes obsessed with searching for treasure after being bitten by a scarab-like bug thought to be made of pure gold.

The narrator has intense doubt and questions whether Legrand, who has recently lost his fortune, has gone insane. Legrand captured the bug but let someone else borrow it; he draws a picture of the bug instead. The narrator says that the image looks like a skull.
