Richie Rich Inventions #19

When Chef Pierre installs a radar that alerts him whenever Dollar sneaks near the kitchen, the little thief is forced to get creative—using everything from disguises to distraction tactics in a clever game of cat-and-mouse.

In "The Instant Uglies!", Richie Rich stumbles upon a strange fluid that temporarily makes anything it touches look hideous—perfect for pranks, until it becomes a lifesaver when two crooks snatch him and haul him off to their island lair. With his usual cleverness and a little help from his experimental invention, Richie finds a way to turn the tables on his captors, using the fluid to outwit them in a moment of high-stakes mischief.
