Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #134
In "Treasure of Marco Polo," Scrooge McDuck embarks on a globe-trotting adventure after acquiring a mysterious jade elephant—its tail all that arrived from the war-torn kingdom of Unsteadystan, along with a young refugee named Soy Bheen. A cryptic note from Marco Polo hidden in the tail hints at a long-lost treasure map buried within the elephant’s trunk, leading Scrooge, his nephews, and Soy Bheen to the heart of Unsteadystan, where the elephant has become a symbol of resistance under rebel leader Wahn Beeg Rhat. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, this classic tale blends history, mystery, and adventure in a story that’s as rich in detail as it is in charm, with cover art by Barks himself.

Scrooge has bought a life-size jade elephant that has been shipped in a crate from the war-torn kingdom of Unsteadystan, but only the elephant's tail is in the crate, along with a peasant boy named Soy Bheen. A note from Marco Polo in the elephant's tail tells of a treasure map in the elephant's trunk, and the ducks and Soy Bheen go to Unsteadystan, where the elephant is being used by the rebel leader, Wahn Beeg Rhat, as a sort of totem.
