Plot[]
When Scrooge brings Louie to work with him, Louie accidentally spends Scrooge's Number One Dime to purchase a soda. He decides to use the insane inventor Gyro Gearloose's latest robotic creation, Li'l Bulb, to get it back, accidentally causing it to become a giant coin-collecting robot. Meanwhile, Dewey and Webby attempt to discover the whereabouts of Della Duck in the McDuck Archives, run by the questionably-sane librarian Mrs Quackfaster.
