Il romanzo di un papero povero

When Daisy Duck is about to go to Europe on holiday,she entrusts Donald with a bundle containing 1000 shares of a company called TTTT.Taking care of this bundle turns out to be quite an ordeal for Donald,who,in a fit of rage,burns the shares.Overcome by guilt,he looks for a job to try to make it up to Daisy,and gets hired to look after an old Scottish retired sailor,who turns out to be an old rival of uncle Scrooge.Mistaking him for his uncle,the Scot feeds Donald an orange filled with opium and leaves him on a raft.When Donald wakes up,he is at the North Pole,where he rescues the owner of TTTT,who can be in Duckburg in time to save his company from the rival SSSS.Out of gratitude,he gives Donald 1000 shares,which replace the ones Donald destroyed.Everybody is happy,except for uncle Scrooge,who turns out to be the owner of SSSS
