Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #184
In "The Phantom of Notre Duck," Scrooge McDuck unveils his new vault, accessible only by playing "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" on a fife—a tune that becomes central to a mysterious theft at the Cathedral of Notre Duck. When the fife vanishes from the cathedral’s wishing fountain, replaced by the eerie sound of the same melody, Scrooge and his nephews chase a shadowy, black-clad thief through the cathedral’s winding halls, only to find themselves cornered. Written, drawn, and inked by Carl Barks, this classic adventure blends whimsy and suspense, with Barks’ iconic art bringing the cathedral’s gothic grandeur and the chase’s tension to life—cover by Carl Barks.

Scrooge has a new vault, which opens only when he plays "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" on a fife. He takes the fife to the Cathedral of Notre Duck, to lower it on a string into the water of the Cathedral's wishing fountain—but when he pulls the string up, the fife is gone, and the thief is playing "My Bonnie." The ducks pursue the black-clad thief through the cathedral until they are all trapped.
