Harold MacGrath was a bestselling American novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter. A Splendid Hazard (first published in 1910 and made into a feature film in 1920) is the story of the discovery of a document which tells of two million francs buried in Corsica and the subsequent expedition to attempt to recover this sum of money -- money buried there by Napoleon loyalists to help with the return of Napoleon from his banishment.
