Description[]
Scrooge McDuck tells his nephews about the time he made a trip to Java to sell bulls and met Ratchet Gearloose once again. Ratchet shows Scrooge his prototype for the car. Meanwhile, a treacherous sultan attempts to steal the bulls from Scrooge. Scrooge is present for the eruption of Krakatoa, and manages to sell the bulls to the correct sultan.
