The Duck Knight Returns

With automated patrol robots circulating around St. Canard, Darkwing Duck has disappeared and Drake Mallard has spent the past year being just Drake Mallard. But when the robots start going out of control and Quackerjack starts planning a reunion of "old friends", can the return of the "Duck Knight" be far behind? And is Drake even ready to become Darkwing again?
