☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeA map from Donald's seafood restaurant sets the ducks and their parrot companion Old Yellow Beak on a swashbuckling voyage to find pirate Henry Morgan’s buried treasure in "Donald Duck Finds Pirate Gold," a classic adventure drawn by Carl Barks and Jack Hannah with inks by Barks and Hannah, and colors by Gary Leach. The story unfolds aboard a ship whose crew hides a dangerous secret, as Black Pete—disguised as an old woman—plots to steal the prize while the ducks and their feathered friend race toward the island. The cover, penciled and inked by Carl Barks, captures the tale’s adventurous spirit.
When Donald Duck stumbles upon a pirate map in his seafood restaurant, he and his nephew Huey, Dewey, and Louie set sail with the grumpy parrot Old Yellow Beak, chasing the legendary gold of Henry Morgan. Unbeknownst to them, their ship is secretly commandeered by Black Pete, disguised as an old woman, and his two rat-faced henchmen. After a wild journey that lands them on the treasure island by raft, the ducks and the parrot dig into the sand—while Pete waits in the shadows, ready to strike.
Donald Duck scoffs at the nephews’ lucky rabbit foot, convinced it’s a fake—until their good fortune clashes with his string of misfortunes. When he steals it to prove his point, his luck takes a nosedive, turning a simple plane ride into a chaotic mess involving a panicked gorilla, a flock of crocodiles, and a whole zoo of frightened patrons.
When Donald and the nephews take a break from their usual antics to visit the Limber W Guest Ranch, things quickly go off the rails—literally. Lost in the desert, the boys try to find their way back while Donald’s stubbornness and misadventures keep getting in the way. With a grumpy horse wrangler, a stubborn horse named Methuselah, and a cranky horse named Sugarfoot adding to the chaos, every step toward home seems to lead deeper into trouble.
When Huey is mysteriously spirited away inside an ancient mummy case and shipped to Egypt by emissaries of the Bey of El Dagga, Donald and his nephews Dewey and Louie leap into action—taking jobs on the same ship and then commandeering a felucca to follow the trail up the Nile. As they navigate desert sands, suspicious guards, and a desert prince obsessed with reviving forgotten traditions, the trio finds themselves in a whirlwind of ancient intrigue and duck-sized chaos.
