Description
Edit
Scrooge McDuck goes crazy after 87 cents are stolen from the Money Bin. Who could the thief be? Is it really the interdimensional imp Scrooge is blaming… or is Scrooge affected by the disease literally known as Gold Fever that Huey Duck read about in the Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook?
ReferencesEdit
- Flintheart Glomgold stole a McDuck Enterprises-developed Time-Teaser.
ContinuityEdit
- The bet Scrooge and Glomgold made in The Ballad of Duke Baloney (2018) is mentioned. Zan Owlson is still helping Glomgold run his company.
- As shown in The Treasure of the Golden Suns (1987), Gold Fever is a real disease in the Prime Universe, which can indeed be forewarned by itchiness and become fatal. The original Scrooge McDuck was once affected by it.
- Also in the Prime Universe, the original Gyro Gearloose had also built a Time-Teaser later exploited by villains, in Time Teasers (1987).
Behind the scenesEdit
