    With the help of a magic candle Magica De Spell goes back in time to Glasgow, Scotland in the year 1877 in order to steal Scrooge's first dime before he ever earns it...

    Interesting facts:

    Don Rosa has once said: "It was while I was doing this story that we came up with the idea that they would allow me to write and draw the 12 part series of Scrooge's entire life. So once we started the bigger project we had to put this story aside. It wasn't published for about 3 years later until the other 12 chapters were completed. And then it was published as Chapter 0, just for fun ".
