The episode starts with a shot of a seagull flying across the sky and to a harbor of ships. The bird caws.
Sailor 1# Hey!
Sailor 2# Eh!
Sailor 3# Go!
The seagull lands on Donald's boat then fly's away. Donald is getting ready for a job interview with Louie chasing after him holding a uniform.
Louie Duck Come on! Hold still, Uncle Donald
Donald Duck Get off of me!
Huey is cooking.
Huey Duck Good morning, Uncle Donald
Louie is holding Donald's other clothes and his uniform.
Louie You can't wear this to your job interview
Louie puts Donald's original uniform in the dishwasher and turns it on.
Donald (yelps) My uniform!
Louie You gotta dress for the job you want, not the job you have, which is no job
Donald's sleeve catches fire but he puts it out.
Donald Huey, don't touch the stove. You'll get hurt!
Donald's sleeve gets out of the sink and slaps Donald in the face.
Huey But it's a big day, and a big day calls for a big breakfast
Huey shows Donald a plate with words saying "We believe in you Uncle Donald", a egg and a fish are on it. The fish deflates. Donald retches. Huey throws the plate and it shatters.
Huey I'll get the iron.
Donald Ouch! Ooch
Donald starts squawking.
Donald Stop helping me. And put on your life vests! What if the boat goes down while the babysitter's here?
Huey and Louie Yes, Uncle Donald.
Donald Where is that babysitter?
Donald picks up the phone and the line starts ringing.
Donald Where are you? What? I didn't give you a new address.
Huey and Louie give each other a look with a smirk.
Donald Well, what time can you get here?
With the babysitter.
Babysitter I..don't...know...
With Donald, Huey, Louie.
Donald Crazy old bird.
Donald hangs up the phone.
Donald Where can I find another babysitter at 10:00?
Donald, Huey and Louie Ten o'clock?
Louie You gotta go!
Louie puts the ironing board back and Huey puts Donald's shirt on him. Louie starts pushing Donald. Outside.
Donald Whoa, I can't just leave you!
Louie We can survive for a couple of hours.
Donald A couple of hours? Uh...Well, okay, but just keep those life vests on
Huey and Louie gives each other a thumbs up. Donald starts walking off until the boat engine turns on.
Donald Where's Dewey?
Louie Sleeping.
Huey Who's Dewey?
Louie looks at Huey. Donald walks back inside the boat.
Louie "Who's Dewey"?!
With Dewey.
Dewey Duck All right, boys. We'll get to Cape Suzette and back before anyone realizes we're gone. So long, Dorkburg. Hello...Uncle Donald. What...what's up?
Donald throws Huey, Dewey and Louie in the back seat.
Donald I can't leave you boys alone for one minute!
Donald closes the door.
Dewey You were supposed to get him out by ten o'clock, Hubert!
Huey You were supposed to signal before you started the boat, Dewford.
Louie We never get to do anything!
Donald is in the front seat.
Donald Boys, if we want to keep our home afloat...
Donald sighs.
Donald ...we've all got to do things we don't want to do.
GPS Destination, McDuck Manor.
Huey McDuck Manor? As in Scrooge McDuck?
Dewey The bajillionaire!?
Louie You're finally gonna sell us.
Donald I'm not gonna sell...He owes me.
Dewey We're gonna meet Scrooge McDuck?!
Louie That guy's amazing!
Huey What!
Dewey I heard he's so epic, he defeated a rock giant and carved a statue of himself out of its leg!
Huey I heard he's so smart, he solved the mystery of the Chupacabra. Turns out it was just a shaved bear!
Louie I heard that he's so rich, he only hunts for treasure to swim in it!
Donald All right, take it down a notch. It's only for a couple of hours.
Dewey A couple of hours with the most exciting duck in the world!
Bentley Buzzard With business expanding in the Spoonerville and St. Canard markets, noted in Appendices C,G, and 5F, we're also cutting funding to unnecessary departments, Historical research, Experimental Tech, Deep Sea Exploration.
Scrooge McDuck Fantastic.
Scrooge goes to his money vault.
Scrooge

Back in the bin with ya. See ya tomorrow.

Scrooge sighs. Scrooge closes the vault door. The limo is driving the McDuck Manor. A dog starts barking. Scrooge is sliding around in the back seat.
Launchpad McQuack Just another day at the office, eh, Mr. McD.?
Launchpad laughs.
Launchpad Been there. I don't have an office, per se, but in some ways, the road is my office. Hey, that's deep. I gotta write that down.
Launchpad crashes into a table. Scrooge gasps.
Scrooge Eyes on the road, McQuack! Every dent is coming outta your salary.
Launchpad Absolutely. Hey, you read about that crazy snowstorm over at Drake Barrier Reef? I'd hate to fly into that one. See, I'm a bit of a pilot, and, uh...
Scrooge starts closing the partition.
Launchpad Ooh, okay. Divider.
The partition closes.
Launchpad There you go.
The limo keeps swerving.
Launchpad Hit the breaks!
Launchpad hits the brakes. Scrooge groans.
Scrooge Why aren't we moving?
With Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie.
Donald Mrs. B! Open up. I need to get out of here before...
Scrooge is honking the limo's horn.
Donald ...he...shows up.
Scrooge gets out of the limo.
Scrooge Oi, jettison that jalopy from my driveway this instant, you deadbeat
Donald gets out of his car and walks up to Scrooge.
Scrooge Donald Duck.
Donald Uncle Scrooge.
Huey Uncle Scrooge!?
Huey, Dewey and Louie are cheering. Dewey jumps out of the car and rolls on top of the car. Dewey gets back into the car and knocks over Huey and Louie.
Donald So, you're looking good.
Scrooge Still living on that boat?
Donald Yup. Still a trillionaire?
Scrooge points to a peacock flying behind the gate to the manor.
Donald Good, Good. So...
Scrooge So... jettison that jalopy from my driveway this instant, you deadbeat!
Donald Aw, here we go! Giving orders like he's the richest duck in the world!
Scrooge I am the richest duck in the world. Now move!
Donald I would love to! It just so happens I have a job interview!
Scrooge So why are you standing there yelling?!
Donald Mrs. B. said you would watch the boys. Can you do that without losing them?
Scrooge Of course I can!
Donald Fantastic! Thank you SO much!
Scrooge YOU'RE WELCOME! Wait, what now?
Donald Huey, Dewey, Louie, meet Scrooge McDuck. Remember: No tricks, no lies, no trouble.
Huey, Dewey and Louie Yes, Uncle Donald.
Donald I wasn't talking to you.
The boys enter the mansion
Louie Whoa!
Mrs. Beakley Talk to your nephews.
Scrooge Ep! So, do children still like... marbles or uh...
Huey Are you really our uncle?
Dewey How old are you?
Louie What's your net worth?
Huey What's the deal with you and Uncle Donald?
Louie Ooo, is that fork real silver? Can I have it?
Huey How come you never visit?
Louie Oh, cause you're so old and moving is so hard?
Dewey You owe us a LOT of birthday presents!
Louie You used to be a big deal. Whatever happened to you?
"Scrooge slams the newspaper."
Scrooge BEAKLEY!
Scrooge throws the kids in an empty room.
Scrooge You agreed to watch 'em. Watch 'em! Huey, Louie... the third one.
Mrs. Beakley Please do not leave the designated play area.
Beakley gives the boys a bag of marbles.
Beakley A gift from your great uncle. You will return them upon your departure. He's counted them.
Beakley locks the door.
Huey Great, now we've got two boring uncles.
Louie So we're totally ditching this room right?
Dewey Yup, and I know just how to do it.
Scrooge Hmph. Used to be a big deal.
Dewey Hmph! Hah! Hah! Stupid! Doorknob! Come! Off! Nailed it!
Louie Huh, I can't believe THAT was your best plan.
Dewey Come on guys! Let's go touch some expensive stuff. Wah!
Huey and Louie DEWEY!
Dewey I'll put the marbles back! I swear!
??? Who sent you? Ma Beagle? Glomgold? Answer me...
Louie (sniff) Uncle Scrooge! (cries)
??? Uncle Scrooge? OH MY GOSH, THE NEPHEWS!
Louie Wait, you know us?
??? Of course! Researching Mr. McDuck and his family is kinda my hobby.
Louie What?
??? What are your blood types? What's Donald really like? Who's the evil triplet?
Huey and Dewey Louie.
Louie Meh.
??? Tell me EVERYTHING!
Louie Um, we live with our uncle...
Dewey ...On a boat.
??? Go on...
Huey Kinda it. We're just a normal, boring family.
??? Normal? Boring? HAH!
Girl kicks ball and reveals family tree chart.
??? Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck. Scrooge McDuck's great nephews from his sister Hortense's side with Quackmore Duck, twice removed!
Dewey And you are?
??? Oh, right. Webby Vanderquack. My granny's the housekeeper. WAIT! Are we friends now?
Huey If we say "yes" will you let us live?
Webby Pfft! Good one new best friend.
Louie So, friend, what do you do for fun around here?
Webby Oh, I'm the best at fun, um. Heya! (kicks grate open)
Dewey At least it's not the marble room.
Scrooge C'mon you braggart, you won't get the best of Scrooge McD--aah!
Beakley Hm, a little spring cleaning?
Scrooge Maybe, maybe not. Read this.
Beakley Snow. On the Drake Barrier Reef.
Scrooge First time in fifty years. That weather report aligns perfectly with the Papia Prophecy. A shift in currents may present a pathway to...Atlantis! Lost city under the sea!
Beakley This is because some children made fun of you isn't it?
Scrooge Nonsense, I'm no has-been; they're the has-beens. I am an am-now. Make a list: four oxygen tanks, two pressure gauges, a pilot,...
Launchpad I'm a pilot.
Scrooge A week's provisions, an experimental deep-sea sub,...
Launchpad I'm a pilot.
Beakley And one secretary for an old man who seems to have forgotten that I am NOT HIS SECRETARY!
"Launchpad closes the door." Scrooge So... not interested?
Beakley I have enough excitement caring for Webby. Perhaps you should spend some time with your family.
Scrooge Oh, aye? Hang up my spats? Become the dottering old relic everyone thinks I am, spinning yarns to those loud-mouthed young'uns about the man I "used to be"?
Beakley You have avoided them for ten years!
Scrooge Because family is nothing but trouble!
Dewey gasp Oh.
Scrooge I'm Scrooge McDuck. I made my name being tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties. And I made my money square. On my own. No nephews, no family, no helping hand, and I don't need help now. And... Beakley, a little help? Maybe they're right.
Webby Whoa, vent crawl!
Huey You don't get out much do you?
Webby Nah. Granny's a bit overprotective. She trains me to be ready for anything, but then she says I've got everything I need in here. But one day I'm going to see the world. I'm going to be an explorer! I'm going to go eat a hamburger.
Huey We could bring you a hamburger.
Webby You really are my best friends.
Dewey falls out of the grate, dejected.
Webby Welcome to the Wing of Secrets.
Huey I knew it.
Louie Dewey, check it out.
Dewey Yeah, whatever.
Webby The Gong of Pixiu . Hit it three times to unleash unspeakable evil.
Huey Uh, what are you doing?
Louie Calling dibs on stuff. What, Scrooge is like... He's like super old.
Webby Oh careful! Medusa's gauntlet. One touch could turn organic matter to stone.
Louie Okay, we'll call this one a maybe.
Huey This place is incredible!
Dewey It's fake.
Huey Is that Uncle Donald?
Webby Oh yeah, he was Mr McDuck's sidekick.
Huey Dewey's right.
Louie Totally fake.
Dewey Uncle Donald has never done anything cool.
Webby What? Donald Duck is one of the most daring adventurers of all time!
Donald wrestles with a stapler.
Dewey This has got to be a fake. And I bet everything else is, too.
Webby That's not true! What about this picture with Chubracabra?
Huey Photoshopped.
Webby Or this treasure chest?
Louie Probably bought it at an auction.
Webby This g-g-ghost?
Dewey You mean this Halloween decoration?
Ghost pirate Curse ye, you scurvy life lubbers!
Webby It's Captain Peg-hook the scourge of the River Styx!
Dewey It's real! It's really, really real.
Webby The Deus Excalibur. It won't rest until it's target's slain.
Huey But he's already dead.
Webby Do not let anything else hit that gong.
Louie Yep, I'm going to sit this one out.
Webby The headless man-horse! That one feels self-explanatory.
Dewey That's twice.
Webby One more and something terrible could happen.
Louie What could be worse than this?
Scrooge What in Dismal Downs is going on in here?!
Triplets There it is.
Scrooge Why aren't you in your rooms?
Huey We've got this. There are four of us and three of them. If we... wait, never mind. They teamed up.
Scrooge Oh, good. That means only one target.
Dewey No, get back! You're old!
Scrooge Oi beastie. What's it gonna take to shuffle you off to the afterlife?
Peg-hook The head of Scrooge McDuck!
Scrooge (cracks neck) Would you settle for his hat?
Peg-hook screams, Scrooge throws his hat and ducks under him. Peg-hook throws sword, head flies, all gasp then realize it's from the statue which Scrooge catches.
Scrooge There's your head.
Scrooge tosses head statue to Peg-hook.
Peg-hook I should've been more specific! (fades away)
Headless Horse (clopping) A head. I'm no longer a freak! Thank you! (leaves)
Louie We can explain. We came down to your secret museum to look for you because we love you.
Scrooge Secret museum? This is the gar-age.
Huey and Dewey The what?
Louie You mean the garage?
Webby No, that's ridiculous. If this is a garage, then how do you explain all this amazing stuff? Like the garden hose of destiny. Or Montezuma's stack of old magazines. Or... oh, yeah, no, it's a garage.
Scrooge Unbelievable. I invite you into my home...
Louie You locked us in a room!
Scrooge I gave you marbles.
Huey All we wanted was to hang out with you.
Scrooge Well, now you have, and look at the mess it's got me.
Dewey (bitterly) I guess family is nothing but trouble, right, Scrooge?
Scrooge Everybody out.
Huey But we're...
Scrooge OUT! (hits gong) Oh, what are you gaping at? The curse is only activated if you rang the gong three times, and, and, and you already hit it two times, didn't ya?
Webby Pixiu, the gold-hunting dragon.
Louie Gold hunting? Sounds great!
Huey Not when you're Duckburg's single largest owner of gold!
Scrooge Ah! Me money bin! To your rooms!
Huey Where are you going?
Webby I'm going to go eat a hamburger.
Dewey We're in.
Webby Cool. To be clear, I'm going to go catch the dragon. The hamburger was a metaphor from before. I ...
Dewey Yeah, yeah, no, we get it, we get it. But how are we gonna get up there?
Launchpad gasp I'm a pilot.
Scrooge Oof ha ha! It'll take more than some fancy flying to shake old Scrooge, you cash cannibal.
Dragon rubs up against some buildings.
Scrooge It'll take more than a bruised spine to shake old Scrooge, you bad... dragon dog. Take that! Ahh!
Huey Woo-hoo!
Scrooge I thought I told you to go to your...
Dewey No time. We gotta work fast.
Huey Webby, how do we stop it?
Webby It's mystical, so we need a mystical device, like an oblivion mirror or a Medusa gauntlet or-
Louie Like this? What? I was going to give it back. Now how do we get him down there?
Huey Garden hose of destiny! Launchpad, we need to swing him out. Nose-dive toward the bin and get ready to pull up.
Launchpad Yes, sir, random kid I just met.
Dewey Any questions?
Scrooge Since when is Launchpad a pilot?
Dewey You guys, our family is awesome.
Kids Scrooge!
Louie He swims in money! I knew it!
Launchpad Aw, family truly is the greatest adventure... OH, NO, THE GROUND!
Scrooge In the short time I've known you, you wrecked my home and my money bin, unleashed several ancient evils, and almost got me killed twice!
Huey Four times if you count each monster as an individual time.
Scrooge Ha ha ha ha that was incredible! When you pulled me into the airplane and said, "No time." Oh, and who would've thought of a Medusa gauntlet? Brilliant! Oh, and then you swung me out, and pulled up just in time. Ha ha, you kids are nothing but trouble! Curse me kilts, have I missed trouble. I suppose I'll have to keep an eye on you to teach you how to get into trouble properly.
Dewey You mean?
Scrooge Beakley, clear my schedule. I'm taking the wee ones on a field trip.
Beakley About time, and once again, I'm not your secre----
Scrooge Now, lets go find the lost city of Atlantis!
All Yeah!
Scrooge And no one tell your Uncle Donald!
All Yeah!
Launchpad Who is that?
??? You've got the job, Duck.
Donald Seriously? Oh boy! I'm a real accountant.
Flintheart Glomgold Accountant? That was filled yesterday. You're our new sailor. Welcome to Glomgold Industries. Now, what do you know about Atlantis?
Part 2
Glomgold (training video) Glomgold Industries. Take an idea. Make it your own. Bigger. Faster. Cheaper! That's the motto of the world's most beloved Scottish billionaire duck. Flintheart Glomgold! Welcome, new employees, to Glomgold Industries, where our employees are the greatest treasure of all!
Glomgold (clapping) Glomgold, Glomgold, Glom... Fine. Enough glad-handing. You're here because you're the best of the cheapest. With your help, and my carefully crafted master plan we'll find the fabled lost jewel of Atlantis, and finally, make me the richest duck in the world! (sinister laughter) But first, here are your company IDs. Also good for 40% off life vest rental in case of emergency. Gabby McStabberson. Hack and Slash Smashkinov. Donald Duck. Duck? DUUUUCK!!!
Donald Hahahaha.. (back to cell phone) Now remember, bedtime is at 9, and no sugar after 7. Oh, and--
cut to Scrooge on top of a sub in the ocean.
Scrooge I run a multi-trillion dollar business. I can handle a few juveniles for the weekend. You just focus on this new job of yours. Besides, we've got a pretty low key day planned.
Dewey Hoist the mast sail! Other boat words. To Atlantis! Dive, dive!
Scrooge No! Wait!
Launchpad Aye, aye.
Scrooge Launchpad, the hatch! stop the--bjjbjbuadkjfo!
Dewey Woo-hoo!
Scrooge Talk to your uncle.
Louie Hey, Uncle Donald. Nope, yeah, pretty boring. We napped, rubbed ointment on our joints. Old people stuff.
Webby What about the dragon, and the plane crash, and--
Louie Whoops, 3:00 p.m. Time for dinner. Bye!
Webby Why didn't you tell him the truth?
Louie You didn't tell your grandma we were going to a dangerous underwater city, did you?
Webby I kinda sorta... didn't tell her anything.
Louie Webby, that's irresponsible! She'll be worried sick. Call your grandma this instant, and tell her that you are spending the night at a friend's house, okay? Lying, it's the responsible thing to do.
Scrooge Launchpad, have you ever piloted a sub before?
Launchpad I sunk a helicopter in a wave pool once. Same thing?
Scrooge Uh, I've done more with less. No matter. I'm back! Uncharted territory! Bold new discoveries!
Huey Travel bingo! I love road trips! I've got snacks, a playlist of traditional sea shanties, matching family road trip shirts!
Scrooge Yeah... I appreciate the enthusiasm, but there's no time.
Huey But according to the travel itinerary--
Dewey Boo! Adventure isn't about planning. It's about doing. So, what can I be in charge of? The buzz saw arms?
Scrooge No.
Dewey Sonic cannons?
Scrooge No.
Dewey Hyper-dense zero-point energy missiles to pierce the scaly hide of a Kraken?
Scrooge None of those things are real things! This is your first expedition, so just stand back and watch an old pro... from a safe distance.
Dewey So what is this submarine equipped with?
Scrooge Seat belts. (chuckle)
Dewey Ha! Good one. Classic Scrooge-Dewey banter. The seasoned but tired explorer passing the torch to his cocky young successor.
Huey I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually know our names.
Dewey I'm sorry, what?
Huey I think he called me Herbert once.
Dewey Don't be ridiculous. Hey, Scrooge? When are we going to set sail, Scrooge.
Scrooge In a moment, Sonny Jim.
Huey offers Dewey a shirt.
Dewey I will cram it down your throat.
Louie Guys, lighten up. We're on a deep sea expedition with Scrooge McDuck.
Scrooge Mr. McQuack, chart the course. Next stop, the Lost City of Atlantis!
All Woo-hoo!
Scrooge In about sixteen hours!
Huey Shanty time!
Hours pass as the shanty tape plays, everyone falls asleep but Dewey who becomes more and more agitated.
Launchpad Driving! Piloting, driving, right!
Dewey Hey, Scrooge, first mate Dewey, here. Your map's got us going the long way. I could probably find a shortcut if you just let me--
Scrooge Ah ah ah, lad. The shortest distance between two points isn't always a straight line.
Dewey Okay, but yes, it is. So if we just go--
Scrooge smacks Dewey away from the map. While distracted, Dewey snatches the map.
Launchpad Driving!
Dewey erases Scrooge's route and replaces it with his own. Sub changes course.
Dewey Shortcut achieved. He'll thank me later.
various scenes of submarine attacked multiple times
Scrooge You kids will be the death of me.
Dewey Dewey! Dewey will be the death of you!
Huey Can we make a pit stop? I'd use the bathroom, but it's, um...occupied.
Scrooge For the love of... It's the middle of the ocean. There are no pit stops!
Launchpad How about that conspicuously unmarked tanker?
Donald Aw, little Dewey's first step. And that's Huey in the playoffs. He was the water boy. Oh, look, that's us climbing the Grand Canyon display at the supermarket. sigh I miss them so much, but we need this job. So, tell me about your family.
Gabby I was raised by warrior monks who spoke only the language of the blade.
Hack We've got intruders.
Donald Scrooge? What is he doing here?
Glomgold Strange weather patterns in a mysterious location near treasure, ha ha. I knew he couldn't resist! Hack, triangulate their sub's course. We'll tail Scrooge and steel the jewel right from under him.
Donald The boys?! Wait until I get my hands on--AAAAAHHHHHH!! I'm going to kill him!
Glomgold Oh!, better idea. Nab the jewel and kill them all. Somebody is angling for Employee of the Month. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Glomgold's ship is battered by the storm, while Scrooge's ship glides underwater.
Scrooge The Drake Barrier Reef. Powerful currents combined with rocky terrain make it nearly impossible to navigate, but on that rare occasion when snow falls above the reef, the currents cool, allowing safe passage to...
Louie Are we there yet?
Scrooge I was just trying to...
Huey Right side or the left side?
Scrooge If you just let me...
Webby Look!
Dewey
All Whoa.
Scrooge Yes, good. Atlantis. "Ooh!" "Ah!" Thanks for spoiling the moment.
Huey The whole place is upside down.
Scrooge Ah... well, that's a new one.
Dewey Woah
Louie Just call your grandma already! It's no big deal. Remember, you're at a friend's house, okay? You got this!
Webby (rapidly) Hi, Granny, I'm spending the night at a friend's house, so nothing is wrong!
Louie Oh, you don't got this.
Scrooge Aha. Well, according to these markings, the Atlanteans were so eager to build their epic city of wonders and death traps. They didn't stop to figure out a proper support structure, and the whole thing fell into the sea. You kids best stay by the sub while I scout ahead.
Huey Dewey ran in as soon as you said "death traps."
Dewey Come on, Scrooge! We got this!
Scrooge Boy! (muttering)
Gabby prepares to throw darts at Scrooge's party.
Donald Woopsie
Launchpad Hm? Nah.
Gabby You made me miss.
Donald Uh... if we get rid of them now, we can't torture them later.
Glomgold Brilliant. I want Scrooge alive when I shove the jewel of Atlantis in his smug face. He thinks he's so rich and so Scottish. Well, I'm wearing a kilt, McDuck. A kilt!
Scrooge Ah! Lad, I thought the traps would get you for sure.
Dewey (points upward) Stupid upside-down temple. Nothing cool about walking under buzz saws.
Scrooge From now on, don't touch anything.
Dewey kicks a rock which hits a panel releasing snakes which fall on Launchpad.
Scrooge Maybe Atlantis was an ambitious first outing.
"Webby's phone rings." Louie
Webby Hi again, Granny. Still at a friend's house. Uh, her name? Sub-ina. A totally real name for a definitely real person.
Louie Uh, Good try.
Huey Uh, Launchpad, are you okay?
Launchpad A little snake venom never...EHH EHH EHH. Hi. Nice to meet you! I'm everybody's friend.
Huey Ahhhhhh!
Donald Um, I got to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back.
Dewey Woah! Suspension bridge? Chasm? Glowing blue mystical lasers? Classic!
Donald Screw that Scrooge. Wait till I get my hands on him.
Scrooge Even a basic death trap still has the word "death" in the title.
Scrooge interrupts a beam which causes a jet of fire to erupt from a vent next to Donald and engulfs the bridge.
Donald Oh no.
Scrooge We'll find another route. It's not safe for amateur adventurers.
Dewey That sounds like a challenge.
Scrooge I have to stress, that is not a challenge.
Dewey ...is exactly what you say to dissuade the weak of heart from accepting the challenge. Well, challenge accepted!
Scrooge There is no challenge!
Donald Dewey!
Dewey crosses the bridge while Donald uses a piece of iron to shield the bridge from the flames.
Dewey (scatting) How does he Dewey it? I don't know! (more scatting) And now you know! Nailed it.
Scrooge uses the suspension rope as a zip line to cross.
Dewey Sure, if you wanted to do it the easy way.
Scrooge Why wouldn't you want to do it the easy way? You got to work smarter, lad, not harder.
Dewey Lad? I don't call you old man or Scotty McTophat.
Scrooge Respect your elder. When you adventure with Scrooge McDuck--
Dewey But I'm not. You want me to adventure "behind" Scrooge McDuck, or wait by the sub. I might as well be back on the houseboat.
Scrooge Because you have no idea what you're doing.
Dewey So show me! Give me a chance, instead of lumping us all together in the back seat while you drive.
Scrooge I'm not lumping you all together.
Dewey Oh, really? Which triplet am I?
Scrooge It's... Bluey?
Donald lets go of the shield which destroys the bridge.
Scrooge Oh, fantastic. You see what I'm talking about? (to rest of party) You four find another way around. We're going to... push onward apparently.
Glomgold Wait, this is no bathroom. This shortcut leads right to the treasure chamber. I don't even know why I hired the rest of you. Help him up.
Donald Ow! Ouch! Owie! Owie!
Scrooge Maybe I could just hire some family. Then they'd have to listen to me.
Glomgold There she is. The jewel of Atlantis! (heartily sinister laughter)
Dewey Who's that?
Scrooge Flintheart Glomgold. The poor man's version of me. Which, to be fair, still makes him insanely rich.
Glomgold Load up the sub.
Dewey gasp They got Uncle Donald?
Scrooge What?
Dewey Let go of my uncle!
Glomgold No.
Dewey I wasn't prepared for that.
Scrooge surfaces and pins Glomgold down.
Scrooge What are doing here, Flinty?
Donald What are you doing here, Scrooge? I told you to keep the boys safe.
Scrooge Oh, they're perfectly fine.
Donald Oh, yeah? where are the other two?
Scrooge Back safe in the room with fire and the snakes.
Donald What?
Glomgold Ah, Scroogie. I see you know my newest employee.
Scrooge Your new job is with my sworn enemy?
Donald I can't keep track of all your sworn enemies!
Glomgold Now, now, Donald has been a model employee, and an excellent prisoner.
Donald Yeah. Wait, what?
Mercenaries grab Donald, Scrooge lets Glomgold go.
Scrooge Hiring my own nephew in order to use him against me? Now, that is good planning.
Mercenaries throw Donald back into the treasure room.
Glomgold Have fun being the second-richest duck in the world, for the next five minutes. (laughing)
Dewey I'd like to point out that this trap was not my fault.
Huey Junior Woodchuck rule 841. There's always another way around.
Webby's cell phone rings.
Louie Oh, no, no, no!
Webby Oh, look, Uncle Hampus is here and he only speaks Swedish. We don't want to be rude, so goodbye?
Louie And you're done. Yeah, you're never going to be able to back up that lie. That was crazy. (chuckles)
Launchpad Åh, hej, Beakley! Subina har berättat så mycket om dig över fiskbullar. (Translation: Oh, hello, Beakley! Subina has told me so much about you over fish balls.)
Glomgold Take 'em down.
Launchpad Oj då. (Translation: Oops.)
Dewey We gotta stop the water.
Donald tries to plug the in flowing water and fails in his usual comedic style.
Donald Oh no. I knew it. I knew I couldn't trust you with the boys.
Scrooge Not the time, Donald.
Donald Crazy old man. All you care about is the next adventure. This is the Spear of Selene all over again!
Scrooge I was not responsible for the Spear of Selene!
Dewey Stop. Scrooge was trying to keep me out of trouble, but I was so caught up in... why is there a lamp on the floor?
Donald What?
Dewey Atlantis is upside down. That means that lamp was supposed to be on the floor, surrounded by all this treasure.
Scrooge Ata boy, lad. Keep going.
Dewey But why would you surround that thing with treasure, unless...
Scrooge and Dewey That's the real jewel of Atlantis!
Scrooge That thing lit up when the trap was sprung. I'd bet my bottom dollar it's the power source that runs the city.
Dewey Uncle Donald, you gotta let the room flood so I can grab the jewel.
Donald That's crazy, I'm supposed to what, let go, trust you?
Dewey Well, yeah, that's kinda all you can do. This is a surprisingly insightful death trap.
Donald unplugs the leak, the chamber fills with water. All three wrench the jewel from its socket and the water goes back down again.
Donald Ha! We're going to be okay!
They rejoin the party who is fighting the mercenaries.
Donald Oh yeah, those guys. Huey and Louie... are doing okay.
Scrooge Wait, where's Glomgold?
Glomgold (through walkie-talkie) Hey, team, wanted to thank you for keeping Scrooge's kin busy while I escape with the jewel and blow up Atlantis with my most hated rival inside.
Hack But I thought employees were greatest treasure of all.
Glomgold Don't be ridiculous. Treasure is the greatest treasure of all. That's why it's called treasure. Glomgold out!
Scrooge We have to go.
Glomgold fires torpedoes at Atlantis.
Gabby Mr. Duck! Could we maybe bum a ride with you?
Scrooge That was some quick thinking. You just may be an adventurer yet... Dewey.
Back at port, Glomgold holds a press conference.
Glomgold Aye, aye. Okay, settle down. Ha ha. Ladies and gentlemen of the press, it is with great pride that I, Flintheart Glomgold present--
Scrooge The Jewel of Atlantis.
Glomgold What?!
Roxanne Featherly Is that Scrooge McDuck?
The press bombard Scrooge with questions.
Scrooge An efficient, clean source of energy that could power Duckberg for fifty years. Courtesy of your friends at McDuck Water and Electric.
Roxanne Featherly Oh, Mr McDuck? How do respond to claims by other Scottish billionaires that they have the real jewel?
Scrooge That bauble... it's nice, but it's obviously super cursed.
Glomgold No, it's not!
A giant tentacle emerges from the water and grabs Glomgold.
Glomgold Oh, curse you, McDuck!!!
Beakley Webby. Uncle Hampus.
Louie How long?
Beakley Whole time.
Webby Granny, I can explain.
Beakley Dear, you are safer in a sunken city with Scrooge McDuck than you are locked in a vault in Fort Knox. No more lies. And you can go with him wherever you like.
Scrooge Now, Donald, don't--
Donald Stop. I admit, I'm a little overprotective.
Louie A little?
Donald No matter what I do, these boys will get into trouble, so maybe you can teach them how to get out of trouble.
Huey Uncle Donald?
Donald It might be okay if the boys see you every once in a while.
Louie At the mansion?!
Huey Is it true?!
Donald Some times, like birthdays, or federal holidays, nothing too...
Dewey Ooh, I may have left the engine running in the houseboat.
Scrooge I may have a dozen or so spare bedrooms in the mansion.
all yay
Roxanne Featherly There you have it. Reclusive adventure capitalist Scrooge McDuck is back, with family in tow, solving mysteries and rewriting history.
Donald and Launchpad lower the houseboat into the pool.
Donald Easy. Little to the left. No, no, no!
Launchpad Did I do it good?
Everybody is cleaning out the garage, and sword-fighting. Dewey notices another figure in the pirate painting.
Dewey Mom?
