In "The Great Steamboat Race," Scrooge McDuck finds himself in a high-stakes aquatic showdown when the Beagle Boys stage a fake scrap metal venture to lure Gyro Gearloose into building a metal-melter—only to use it against Scrooge's Money Bin. With Carl Barks' iconic cover art capturing the chaos of the race, this 1967 classic brings together Vic Lockman’s sharp storytelling, Tony Strobl’s dynamic artwork, and the legendary team behind the Western Publishing production.
