Zio Paperone e il segreto di Villa Mistero

Rockerduck and a dodgy pal of his follow uncle Scrooge and Donald as they take their healthy daily walks in the country,assuming Scrooge had some other reason to be there.Spotting them,Scrooge and Donald run away and hide in a hall where an auction is being held and,through a series of misunderstanding,Rockerduck and Scrooge buy an old country house where they believe a treasure may be buried.When Rockerduck realises there is no treasure,though,he sets Scrooge up to get him to buy his share of the house and grounds,which he does,much to Donald's surprise.It turns out that the whole place lies over a reservoir of methane gas,which Scrooge had smelt the night before.So,the story ends with Rockerduck eating his hat in anger as usual.
