During this operation Little Helper is constructed from one of Donald's lamps to help examine the badger's hole where the toy-train used to pass in to Scrooge's money. Interesting facts: The basic idea of combining the 50th anniversary story for Gyro with a sequel to "A Christmas for Shacktown" was first suggested for Don Rosa by a certain Norwegian fan...
