A Little Something Special
In 1952, on the 50th anniversary of Scrooge’s arrival in Duckburg, the Beagleboys, Magica De Spell and Flintheart Glomgold unite and vow to use the occasion to their own sinister designs. They arrange a contest, inviting everybody in Duckburg to find the ‘perfect’ gift for Scrooge, and announce a large party as a ruse for keeping Scrooge away from his Money Bin. Glittering Goldie turns up to give Scrooge the ‘most perfect’ gift!
