Scrooge, determined to win the Crystal Orb Derby and become "king" of Duckburg for the coming year, buys Fireball, the horse that has won the two previous years, not knowing that Fireball is actually an incredibly complex robot designed to win Derbies, and the other horses in the race are robots, too.
