Topolino e l'uomo di Altacraz

Geronimo ended his sentence at the prison of Altacraz and after having built his funnel-shaped instrument, he meets MM who offers him a room to live in. The funnel phone emits strange notes, but afterwards it shows itself and the two go to Mister Magus for the test. Magus, however, does not appreciate, because he wants only an instrument with particular notes, to be added to another instrument, the budda whistle, whose key word to open the safe, as thought by Magus, is "pistachio". However, the whistle is stolen and the faults fall on Geronimo. MM actually discovers that in the instrument a machine was hidden, so he heard the word pistachio while he was playing. Actually this is not the case because the machine was invented by another criminal he had hidden in the funnel and connected to his radio, thus receiving his thoughts. Geronimo is exonerated, but now Magus is affected by the strange initial notes, not influenced by the machine, and reveals that the instrument he is looking for is precisely that. He gives Geronimo $ 100,000.
