Disney Masters #10

When Donald Duck bets the kids he can outsmart them with his smarts, a glitch in a wacky scientist’s brain probe accidentally turns him into a genius beyond measure—sending him straight into the spotlight of an eccentric academic crowd who worship him as a deity.

In "Don Quiduck de la Mancha," Donald Duck’s overzealous rehearsal for a role in *Man of La Mancha* spirals into full-blown delusion, transforming him into a self-proclaimed knight-errant with a lance bearing the only key to Uncle Scrooge’s new vault. As he gallops through the countryside, convinced he’s on a noble quest, Scrooge and the nephews give chase—while the Beagle Boys eye the prize with greedy intent.

In "Nothin' Beats the Classics," Huey, Dewey, and Louie cringe at being seen in their uncle Donald’s clunky, temperamental old car—Old Number 313—while he refuses to trade it in. When the car starts behaving strangely, acting almost alive, and unexpectedly thwarts a kidnapping attempt on Donald and the nephews, it’s up to Gyro Gearloose to figure out if the vehicle’s quirks are mechanical or something more mysterious.

In "Bargain Battle!", Daisy cleverly exploits Donald’s role as a security guard at Duckingdales Department Store to get the upper hand in an upcoming sale—turning his job into her secret weapon. With a mix of wit and mischief, she’s determined to outsmart the competition, but Donald’s not as easily fooled as she thinks.

Scrooge McDuck swaps his usual vault for a sun-drenched Italian villa, only to find himself tangled in a mystery when he takes possession of a forgotten estate. There, among dusty ruins and hidden chambers, he uncovers rare artifacts tied to Julius Pecunius—a Roman emperor erased from history.

In "Daisy Duck's Diatribe!", Daisy Duck finds herself trapped in a battle of wits and wills when she agrees to house-sit for Donald while he and the boys go fishing—only to face the even more unbearable presence of Josie Jones, the cousin of the notoriously gruff Neighbor Jones. With her patience tested by Josie’s crass antics and escalating chaos, Daisy’s usually composed demeanor gives way to a delightfully unhinged showdown that turns the quiet neighborhood into a warzone of petty grievances and comedic fury.

In "Dieu Dieu Duck," Donald’s accidental destruction of the boys’ robot lawn mower takes a surreal turn when an art critic, dazed by the wreckage, declares it a masterpiece. Swelling with pride and spotting a chance to profit, Donald forces his nephews into a frantic, overnight art-making spree—only for the boys to quietly plot their own clever retaliation.
