In "The Defective Detectives," the Beagle Boys take a bizarre turn, faking comic books to sabotage Super Goof’s fame and line their pockets—only to stumble into a real-life caper that backfires spectacularly when they attempt to steal from Scrooge McDuck’s money bin using a plot straight out of their own counterfeit pages. Written by Mark Evanier and brought to life with crisp art by Kay Wright, this 1973 Western Comics gem features a clever twist on the usual heist, with lettering by Bill Spicer and a dynamic cover by Pete Alvarado and Larry Mayer.

When the Beagle Boys enroll in Shamrock Bones’ detective school, they think they’ve found the perfect cover for their next big score—especially when Roughhouse Rob hires them to pull off a "fool-proof" heist.

When the Beagle Boys launch a scheme to flood the market with fake comic books aimed at tarnishing Super Goof’s fame, they don’t expect the plot to backfire in the most literal way—especially when their counterfeit caper leads them straight into a trap set by the very hero they’re trying to undermine. With the help of Doodler, Fleagle Beagle, Schmidlap, and Mr. Fogarty, Super Goof turns their comic book con into a real-life showdown at Scrooge McDuck’s money bin.
