Scrooge gives his nephews an hourglass that he later discovers is the source of his great wealth. Carrying a billion dollars to buy the hourglass back, he follows the ducks to Africa, where they have gone to fill the hourglass with fresh sand from the oasis of No Issa -- the only kind of sand that will keep perfect time in the hourglass and so make its owner richer by the hour.
