History[]
- "Actually, I'm out to get ratings! But you're big news in this town. So if big news gets bad news, it's good news for my news!"
- ―Lawrence Loudmouth revealing his true intentions to Scrooge[src]
Though he calls himself a "news reporter" and refers back to "the studio" at the end of the press conference, Loudmouth has his own independent television show. He always seeks out the biggest topics in the city for his show, and makes up brazen lies to make them sound like bad news. Since Scrooge McDuck is big news in Duckburg, Loudmouth has been harassing Scrooge for a whole month. When Scrooge dons a superhero costume in an attempt to prove that he's not the bad guy, Loudmouth dons a similar costume to frame Scrooge for crimes he hasn't committed.
Later that night, Loudmouth posts the most recent brazen lies on his show. Scrooge goes out in costume and sees Loudmouth in costume making off with a money bag. Gizmoduck comes and pulls off Scrooge's mask right in front of a whole crowd. Scrooge escapes, and later that night, he notices Loudmouth's photos on TV. Scrooge ponders how only Loudmouth could have gotten those photos and pays a visit to Loudmouth's home. As Scrooge finds another Masked Mallard costume in the closet, Loudmouth conks him out with a vase and ties him up to a flagpole. Loudmouth explains how his ratings have gotten so high, that one more heist will earn him a trip to Rio de Janiero, while Scrooge will be blamed for everything. Just as Loudmouth nabs a couple of gold bars, Gizmoduck shows up, and the two start fighting. Scrooge notices that Loudmouth neglected to swap canes, and Scrooge makes the cane shoot lasers by whistling. Scrooge frees himself and goes off to help Gizmoduck.
By this time, the fight between Loudmouth and Gizmoduck has led all the way to the junkyard. Loudmouth activates a magnet crane, rendering Gizmoduck vulnerable, and is about to put him in the car crusher when Scrooge shows up. The two Masked Mallards have a cane fight, and Loudmouth's cane becomes stuck. The police helicopters arrive and witness the two Mallards fighting. Scrooge tosses his cane to Loudmouth, who plummets off the edge and lands right under a bunch of law enforcers. Afterwards, Loudmouth is sent to Deviled Egg Island Penitentiary, where he is reduced to doing weather and sports.
