Scrooge, more miserly than ever because dry weather is shrinking his money pile, is taken to a mountain cabin by Donald and the nephews for the sake of his nerves. There, Dewey reads him the story of "The King of the Golden River," a story that comes true, after a fashion, when a waterfall near the cabin starts flowing intermittently with gold.
