When the Beagle Boys erect a building next to Scrooge's money bin, with plans to puncture the bin and drain out the money, Scrooge secretly transfers his money to an old reservoir, where he hides it underwater. Learning of this stratagem, the Beagle Boys try to destroy a dam so that Scrooge's money will flow onto their land.; Scrooge takes pills to restore his failing memory, and immediately recalls the location of bag of nuggets he cached in the Yukon fifty years before. When the ducks arrive in the Klondike, they find that Scrooge's claim has been taken over by Glittering Goldie, a former dance hall girl Scrooge knew in the gold rush days--and who still owes Scrooge a thousand dollars, plus interest.; Scrooge has his money canned before shipping it to a Hawaiian island he has bought, but the Beagle Boys have infiltrated the canning operation and have bought the ship Scrooge uses. They make the ducks their prisoners on the island, which is now populated only by one old Hawaiian Opu Nui (Big Tummy) and the menehunes--the tiny ones.; Scrooge buys up all the 1916 quarters ever minted and sinks all but one deep in the Atlantic, with the aim of making that one coin the most valuable in the world. But the last quarter is flattened by a steamroller and so Scrooge must dive into the Atlantic to get another. There, the ducks find Atlantis, a sunken city populated by fish-men who breathe under water.; Scrooge is faced with the loss of his entire fortune to Chisel McSue because, many years before, an ancestor of Scrooge's failed to deliver a case of horseradish to Jamaica, and then failed to give all his property to McSue's ancestor, as provided in a contract. Scrooge can save his fortune only by fulfilling the terms of the original contract, and the ducks set out in a small sailing ship to find the horseradish, which was on a ship that sank in the Caribbean.; For safety's sake, Scrooge has his coins changed into greenbacks and stores them in an old water tank, but this fails to stop the Beagle Boys.; Donald pastes up a fake newspaper that convinces Scrooge that fish have been made the official money of the land.; A salesman for Osogood Silver Polish volunteers to polish Scrooge's coins.; Scrooge takes a bum to a diner for a "free" cup of coffee.; Scrooge decides to "take a chance" on the Soupline Eight car.; Scrooge waits for the light to change before getting into a taxi.; Scrooge uses baled money as a ladder.; Scrooge plays checkers for high stakes--with himself.; Scrooge trims his own sideburns because barber's prices are "too much."; Scrooge's money bin is at the bottom of a rainbow that the nephews see.; Scrooge "treats" the trained fleas to a meal at the circus.; Scrooge uses ballet to elude such pests as a process server and a bill collector.; Scrooge finds a way to avoid paying a penny but still learns his weight.; Scrooge loads down a passing bum with sacks of money.; Scrooge invites a sideshow freak to dinner during "hospitality week."; On a cruise ship, Scrooge watches native boys risk their lives for pennies thrown in the water.; To celebrate a big business deal, Scrooge buys one soda, and five straws, for himself, Donald, and the nephews.; Scrooge is reluctant to pay the price for a paper with news about his big oil strike.; Scrooge digs up the beach in search of a lost nickel.; Offered a "penny for your thoughts," Scrooge quickly accepts.
