Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge #23
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Moola on the Move," Scrooge McDuck ventures to the treacherous Gloomgurgle Straits in the North Pacific, where his gold shipments from Alaskan mines keep vanishing. With Carl Barks writing, drawing, and inking every page, this 1958 Dell classic unfolds as Scrooge uncovers a clever ruse: the lighthouse keepers at Raider Nick's Reef are none other than the Beagle Boys, using a rubber ghost ship to scare off rival ships. The cover by Carl Barks captures the eerie tension, perfectly setting the stage for a tale of greed, deception, and the ever-watchful eye of the world’s richest duck.
When Uncle Scrooge investigates a string of mysterious shipwrecks in the Gloomgurgle Straits, he’s drawn into a fog-shrouded mystery where the real danger isn’t the sea—but a cleverly staged ghost ship, a phantom from the past, and a lighthouse crew with a very real appetite for gold. With Donald and the nephews in tow, Scrooge must untangle the truth behind the legend of Raider Nick before the Beagle Boys’ latest scheme sinks his fortune.
Gyro Gearloose is thrilled with his brand-new pool—until he realizes he can’t swim. Determined to keep his secret, he enlists his ever-patient Helper to help him invent a series of clever (and wildly impractical) gadgets to fake a swimmer’s prowess. With a mix of over-the-top contraptions and nervous energy, Gyro sets out to impress the neighbors, all while trying to stay afloat—literally and figuratively.
When Longhorn Tallgrass boasts about his prosperous year to a pair of unexpected guests, he doesn’t realize one of them is Scrooge McDuck—his former lender—while the other is Donald Duck, caught in the middle of a tense reunion.
