When Donald gifts Uncle Scrooge a parrot that only counts instead of talks, Scrooge sees a chance to solve his ever-worsening memory problem—especially when the bird memorizes the combination to his safe. But before Scrooge can enjoy the convenience, the parrot accidentally reveals the code to two burglars, then takes flight toward a boat bound for Latin America.
