Walt Disney Uncle Scrooge #209

When Scrooge decides to bury his fortune underground to keep it safe from the Beagle Boys, he accidentally pumps his gold beneath the land where Grandpa Beagle has been living—unbeknownst to him, the Beagle Boys’ grandfather has been squatting there all along. Now, with the money well beneath the old man’s makeshift home, Scrooge must navigate a sticky situation as his plan backfires in the most unexpected way.

In "Getting Thor," Gyro Gearloose builds a mechanical scarecrow to protect his strawberry patch from crows, only to find his assistant, Gyro's Helper, has already driven them off—inspired by a wild tale of Thor and thunder. The boy’s bold, myth-inspired antics leave Gyro both baffled and impressed, turning a simple garden problem into something far more dramatic.

In "Dogged Determination," Uncle Scrooge sets out to collect on a long-overdue loan, only to be met with fierce resistance from the borrower’s relentless dog. Undeterred by the furry obstacle, Scrooge devises a clever plan to get past the dog and claim what’s owed—proving once again that persistence beats barking.
