Believing a pet will cheer up a disgruntled Uncle Scrooge the boys buy Scrooge a pet lemming that runs off with a locket containing the only copy of the combination to his new safe and joins the lemming hordes of "Novay."

Flintheart has already dumped his fortune on the giant scales of Macaroon, waiting for the big weigh-in. He's sure he will win, because he's hired the Beagle Boys to stop Scrooge from arriving.

Scrooge's archaeological dig in the Greek Islands uncovers the lost city of Troy and an ancient warning not to remove the valued artifacts from their tomb.

The entire military might of the nation cannot stop the monster. What's worse, the truth-telling harp gives Scrooge unexpected insights into himself and those around him.

Determined to prove he's not a stupid pilot, Launchpad enrolls in the Duckburg astronaut program, where he's chosen for the next space orbit around Earth.
