In "Trail of the Unicorn," Donald Duck and the nephews set off on a Himalayan adventure to capture a legendary creature for Uncle Scrooge’s private zoo, only to find their mission upended when Gladstone Gander stows away and, thanks to his uncanny luck, ends up taking all the credit—and the reward—for the discovery.

In "Letter to Santa," Donald Duck scrambles to deliver the nephews’ Christmas wish to Santa—only to realize too late they’ve asked for a steamshovel. With time running out, he turns to Uncle Scrooge for help, but when Scrooge learns he won’t get the credit, he buys a steamshovel of his own to outdo Donald. The two end up in a chaotic showdown, wrecking their machines in a pile of scrap. To save the holiday, Donald must don a Santa suit and deliver the news—without revealing the truth.

In "The Goldilocks Gambit," Donald Duck arrives at Camp Waha-Go-Gaga to collect his nephews, only to find the camp guarded by Gladstone Gander—much to his dismay.

When Donald Duck finally snaps at Gladstone Gander’s endless string of luck, he sends his smug cousin on a fool's errand to find a legendary uranium mine in Alaska—only to regret it when he realizes Gladstone might be in real danger. The search leads Donald and the nephews to a remote iceberg hiding a long-lost Viking ship, its gilded hull gleaming beneath the Arctic ice.

The mix-up sets off a series of misunderstandings that threaten to unravel more than just a friendship.

In "Land of the Totem Poles," Donald Duck lands a job as a salesman on the Kickmiquick River in Northwest Canada, only to discover he’s expected to sell steam calliopes—something he’s utterly unprepared for.

When Donald Duck boasts about his skiing prowess, he finds himself in over his head—literally—after being tasked with delivering a vital serum to the isolated Codfish Cove during a brutal snowstorm.
