Comments: |
Scrooge goes to Indonesia onboard the famous ship Cutty Sark in order to sell some of his best bulls to a sultan who needs the animals in a competition. However Scrooge's bulls are stolen by an evil opponent sultan before they could be sold. Scrooge thus has to hunt down the thieves in order to get his bulls back. In Indonesia Scrooge meets his old friend Ratchet Gearloose who provides him with important assistance. The final chase of the thieves takes place in the Sunda Strait on August 27th 1883, the same day as the explosion of Krakatoa... |
