Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #60
In "The Phantom of Notre Duck," Scrooge McDuck puts his new vault to the test with a peculiar key: a fife that only opens it when played to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean." When he takes the fife to the Cathedral of Notre Duck to test its legendary wishing fountain, the instrument vanishes—and the haunting melody begins again, played by a mysterious black-clad thief. With the ducks in pursuit through the cathedral’s shadowed halls, the chase leads to a trap they can’t escape. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, with cover art by Barks, this 1965 classic blends whimsy and mystery in a tale that’s as clever as it is eerie.

Scrooge has a new vault, which opens only when he plays "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" on a fife. He takes the fife to the Cathedral of Notre Duck, to lower it on a string into the water of the Cathedral's wishing fountain—but when he pulls the string up, the fife is gone, and the thief is playing "My Bonnie." The ducks pursue the black-clad thief through the cathedral until they are all trapped.
