In "The Old Castle's Secret," Uncle Scrooge and the ducks embark on a thrilling quest in Scotland to uncover a long-lost treasure hidden within the walls of the ancestral McDuck castle. When a mysterious, shadow-casting "ghost" steals the prize and traps the group on a perilous balcony, the nephews must use their wits to find a hidden passage through an ancient graveyard.

Uncle Scrooge and the nephews journey to a haunted Scottish castle in search of a long-lost treasure, only to face a spectral figure visible only as a shadowy skeleton. When the ghost steals the treasure and traps the group on a dizzying balcony, the young ducks must use their wits to escape—and uncover a hidden passage beneath the old graveyard.
Donald Duck takes a night shift as a watchman guarding a fortune in silk, but his natural clumsiness and drowsiness put the stash at risk—especially with his three nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, determined to keep him awake. When a mysterious figure, the Watchman, and the notorious Two-Gun Wolf start stirring up trouble, the boys must stay sharp to protect both the money and their uncle from his own sleepy habits.
In "Wired," Donald Duck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie find themselves locked in a high-stakes race as rival telegram messengers, with Joe the Plumber, Boss, Casaba Cantaloupa, Angina Arthritis, and J. Morganbilt Giltwhiskers caught in the middle of their chaotic competition. When Donald tries to outsmart the boys by sending them on a wild goose chase with a fake message, the consequences spiral faster than a tangled wire.
In "Darkest Africa," Donald Duck sets off on a wild safari with his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, chasing the legendary Almostus Extinctus for the eccentric Sir Gnatbugg-Mothley.

When Donald Duck takes on the role of deputy in the lawless town of Bullet Valley, he’s quickly thrust into a showdown with Blacksnake McQuirt, a cunning outlaw posing as a respectable rancher. Armed with a mysterious branding ray that alters cattle marks from a distance, McQuirt’s gang is slipping through the law—until Donald’s stubborn determination puts him on their trail.
When Donald insists the nephews be his caddies, they secretly manipulate him into thinking every shot will be a hole-in-one—leading to a high-stakes bet with Gladstone Gander.
Donald Duck takes his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie on a hunt at Lord Tweeksdale’s estate, determined to impress Uncle Scrooge by showing off their prowess as sportsmen—though the real test may be whether they can keep up with the fox, Frank Bucko, and the estate’s more unexpected residents.
