Richie Rich Gems #14

When Richie Rich picks up a seemingly ordinary fly swatter, his father’s sudden panic sets off alarm bells—especially when he discovers the swatter’s shocking power to obliterate anything it touches. The demonstration draws the unwanted attention of two crooks, who quickly seize the weapon and make off with it, leaving Richie and his father scrambling.

In "Richie Rich and the Desperate Chase," a pair of bumbling crooks steal a dangerously powerful fly-swatter and flee in a high-speed car chase, leaving Richie and his dad in hot pursuit. With a few clever gadgets and a dash of luck, Mr. Rich’s car proves bulletproof—until one crook’s clumsy use of the swatter backfires in the most ridiculous way. The story’s wacky chaos unfolds with classic 1976 humor, ending with a surprising decision from Mr. Rich about the swatter’s fate.
