When Donald Duck’s worthless oil stock suddenly becomes worth a thousand dollars, his panic over neighborhood burglars leads him to lock away not just the shares, but also a jar of jam—only to forget the combination. With art, inks, letters, and story all by Carl Barks, and a cover by Barks as well, this 1988 issue from the Carl Barks Library is a masterclass in comedic timing and visual storytelling.

Donald is about to burn what he believes to be some worthless oil stock, when a call from his broker informs him that a client is willing to pay $1,000 for the shares. Previously unconcerned over the string of burglaries in his neighborhood, Donald now panics and buys a heavy safe to protect the stocks until the sale is completed. Angered at the boys sneaking jam from the cupboard, Donald also locks the jar of jam in the safe for good measure... and forgets the combination.
