At the bottom of our
let's-make-a-mess gelatin pool

Is a clue
to today's prize.

You have 10 seconds
to find it.

Yay!

Go, fenton, go.

[Coughing]

Fenton crackshell...

You've won today's
let's-make-a-mess
grand prize!

A swizzle stick?

No, an all expenses
paid ski vacation
in swizzleland,

World-famous home
of banks
and swizzle sticks.

I've always loved
swizzle sticks!

Ha ha, yes, fenton,

Swizz air will fly
you and a friend
to swizzleland!

You'll board
a luxury train

To the alpine
ski resort of gaducks.

Gandra, sweetie,
come ski with me.

Oh, fenton...

I'll ask mr. Mcduck
for a week off.

You think
he'll cooperate?

He never says no.

No!

Absolutely not!

What if everyone
took a week off?

Empty offices,
nothing would get done.

Stop wasting my time.

Of course, sir.
Thank you, sir.

A week off. Bah!

Where was i?

A bank in swizzleland

Is receiving
a gold shipment next week.

I need someone there
I can trust to watch things.

Fenton! He works cheap,
he's trustworthy,

And best of all,
his air fare's paid.

When I think of all I do
for mr. Mcduck,

It makes me sick.

Ahh! Where's your copy

Ofthe game show fan's
guide to medical trivia?

Are you coming down
with something?

Yup. Any minute now.

Nobody can cheat me
out of a ski vacation.

He's coming. If mcduck
knows you're faking,

It's back to bean counting
for you.

Don't worry, mama.
I'll fool him.

[Knock on door]

Oh...

Oh...

I've terrific news.
I'm sending you to--

What's wrong?

It's the dreaded,
highly contagious

Purple blotch
beakpox.

I'm stuck in bed
for a week.

Are you sure
this sudden illness

Has nothing to do
with that vacation
you asked for?

[Coughing] anything
you say, boss.

I'll go back
to work.

Of course, if I
infect the company,

Everybody will have
to take off a week.

Stay in bed.
I believe you.

Just get better.

I feel better already!

I'm all set to go.

I can't wait to see
the in-flight movie.

[Ring]

I'm all packed,
fenton.

Gandra, I'll be
a few minutes.

Someone else
thinks she's going.

Another woman?

Fenton crackshell,
you cad.

Let's go, kiddo.

I hear swizz tv
has some great
game shows.

Mama,
can we talk?
There's no one else,
gandra.

You're the only gal
my peepers peep for.

Let's change
the subject.

Isn't that
your boss?

Aren't there
cheaper seats?

Can I ride with
the luggage?

What are you doing?

Getting into the spirit
of the trip.

Hurry. We don't want
to miss the train.

Hey! Watch where
you're going, mac.

Well,excusez-moi.

Oh, no, really.
excusez me.

Are you hurt?
Need a doctor?

Perhaps a little
beak-to-beak
resuscitation?

How could I be upset
when I see such
a handsome apology?

That wasn't
your someone else?

Not yet--

I mean, I never
saw her before!

These european trains feel
like they're full of spies.

There isn't a spy
within 10o miles.

It gives me chills,

Thinking one could
walk by and peer in.

There's no one to be
afraid of. Aah!

What's
the matter?

Nothing.

I'm just suggestive.

Fenton, are you always
this weird on vacations?

Who's weird?

Aah!

What are you doing
down there?

I lost
a contact lens.

But you don't wear
contact lenses.

I guess that'll
cut my search short.

This is goldfeather
calling agent x.

Come in, agent x.

this is agent x,
when do you arrive?

I will meet you at
the wizzle swizzle stick
factory tomorrow.

how will I
recognize you?

I'll give you
a code word--

Oppenheimer.

what a stupid code word.

you have the
remote control we need

to steal mcduck's gold?

Of course.

Mr. Mcduck's gold!

Whoa!

What are you
doing here?

Here's
a better question--

How many pecks
of pickled peppers

Did
peter piper pick?

You know too much
my friend

You will be amazed
how little I know

Fenton, where did you go?

Fenton.

Ooh!

I knew there was
someone else.

Jump.

Uh, no, thanks.

I'm cutting down
on leaps from
fast-moving trains.

Since
you asked--aah!

Good.

The fool is history.

Fool, huh? Fooled her.

Aah!

If I let mr. Mcduck know
about goldfeather's plan,

I'm off the hook.

Waiter, there's
an airplane in my soup.

"Spies are after your--"

Waiter,
what does this say?

The ink has run.

It looks like...

"Glub."

"Spies are after my glub"?

Not glub, you idiot!

Gold! G-o-l-d.

"G-o-i-d"?

Goid?

Sheesh! I'll stop
those crooks myself.

Uh-oh.

Here comes
miss congeniality.

Kids, don't try this
at home.

I hope you're
over your weirdness

And ready
to hit the slopes.

Ski at a time
like this?

That's why we came.

Can't. Bad case
of jet lag

And train lag.

I'm suffering from
sleigh lag, too.

I want a taxi for 6:00.

6:00? I'll get to the wizzle
swizzle stick factory

Before then.

You're stranger
than before.

Maybe you should
go to your room and rest.

Good idea.

I hope you feel better.

I'll tour the town
or something.

Now to call in
some muscle of my own.

[Ring]

Three, four rings?

I must've forgotten to turn
on the answering machine

In my gizmoduck suit.

Come on, mama,
I know you're there.

[Ring]

Shut up, you.

it was
awful.

Don't marry drake.

He's a cad, a scoundrel,

And he has
a weakened gizzard.

If that's how it is,
I don't need gizmoduck.

I'll save mr. Mcduck's money
armed only with my wits.

No cracks about
going into battle unarmed.

Hello, are you
the manager?

Indeed. May I help you?

Scrooge mcduck
send me

On a surprise
inspection

To make sure
you're not making

Substandard
swizzle sticks.

Try saying that fast
three times.

I'll interview
the workers.

If you need assistance,
I'll be in my office.

Good day. Answer the
following questions
true or false.

Number one--
"spying would be
a neat job."

Von duckhausen,
there you are.

Uh, mr. Mcduck,
well, this is unexpected.

I'm on
a business trip.

I'm making
surprise inspections

Of my
swizz properties.

Won't this be a surprise
to your surprise inspector?

What surprise inspector?

The one
that's surprising me.

I'm surprised.

If you were
in night school,

Would you take
advanced nail polishing

Or electromagnetic
espionage robotics?

Try and say that fast
three times.

Ooh-ee!

Let me show you our new
stamping machines.

Here we have
the swizzle stick
stamping machine.

It stamps 66,000
swizzle sticks
in 60 seconds.

Say that fast.

Our worker
will demonstrate.

Ow!

Fenton.

[Speaking
gibberish]

Nosprechen
ze english.

You don't fool me.

What happened
to that nap you needed?

I can explain,
but not here.

I'm tracking
down those spies

That are after
mr. Mcduck's gold.

Oh, I'm so sure.

And there are probably
secret passages
in these walls.

Aah!

I'm glad they're meeting
with your approval.

Aye. I'm pleasantly
surprised.

That comes
as no surprise.

When will we
see you again?

Need you ask?

I know--a surprise.

[Beep beep]

Someone's in
the secret room.

Someone's in
the secret room.

There's got to be
a light switch.

[Crashing noises]

Ow!

That's not it.

Fenton, are you
all right?

Oh, my! That's no
swizzle stick maker.

It certainly isn't.

I don't suppose
you're the
welcome wagon.

Guess again.

Uh, agent x?

How did you know?

Oppenheimer
told me.

I thought goldfeather
was a woman with an accent.

She's
goldfeather.

I am? I mean...

[In spanish accent]
this is my bodyguard
seã±or fenton.

You had a french accent
on the phone.

She called from
a phone booth
in france.

You have
the remote control?

Remote control?
I mean--

qu'est-ce que c'est
remote control?

It operates the robot
to steal scrooge's gold.

It's at the hotel.
We'll get it.

There's no time.
Operate it
manually.

Sure. Why not?

Come on, gandra--
goldfeather.

Oh, fenton, you
were right about
those spies.

But now what?

Fiddle
with the controls.

There's one other
alternative to try again.

[Ring]

♪ Now sit right back
and hear a tale ♪

♪ A tale
of a fateful trip ♪♪

Blabberin' blatherskite!

I've got to contact
someone. I know!

[Ring]

[Speaking french]

Message
for scrooge mcduck.

"Trouble
in swizzle stick
factory.

Gold at stake.
From a friend."

Mr. Mcduck,
a message.

Does this say "gold"
or "glub"?

Fenton,
I figured out
these controls.

Aah!

Genius!
How'd you do that?

At night school,

The advanced
nail polishing
class was full,

So I took
electromagnetic
espionage robotics.

Ooh! Say that fast
three times.

Goldfeather's coming.

I'll pretend to be
von duckhausen.

Look what
sloppy security.

It's a wonder
I'm not robbed blind.

Looking
for something,
old-timer?

I hear somebody.
It's goldfeather.

It's you.

Who?

Grab her, gandra!

Eject pilot.

Gandra, turn it off!

It's useless.

My remote control
overrides the
manual controls.

I got her!

Oops. I haven't
got her.

Let's get
out of here.

You'd
better have

A very good
explanation
for this.

[Boom boom boom]

Ooh!

I'm trying to save
your glub--gold--

From that.

Aah!
Aah!

My precious gold!

They'll rob me
and leave me a poor old man.

[Horn honks]

Anybody got
a quarter
I can borrow?

Not me. I'm minutes away
from being poor.

Operator, I need
to send a telegram.

Telegram
for mrs. Crackshell.

Really? Did I
win a contest?

The cable tv
sweepstakes?

The quackerjacks
jackpot?

Oh, it's
from fenton.

Thanks.

"Dear mama,
in big trouble. Stop.

"Need you to bring
you know who. Stop.

Get moving. Stop.
Fenton."

It's my chance
to see swizz tv.

I prefer to travel
by bus, but here goes.

Blabberin'
blatherskite.

Don't worry, fenton.
Gizmomama will save you

When I figure out
which button makes this fly.

What is that?

Go for the gold.

It's as unstoppable
as it looks.

We need
that remote control.

I see a shortcut.

"Break in
an emergency."

It's out of control!

Stop the duck.
k*ll him!

Hey!

Yikes!

Get away from him,
you beast.

Look, gizmoduck
is saving fenton.

He is?
How can it be?

Destroy the duck.

Recycle
the aluminum can.

Fenton, quick,
take the suit.

Everybody's
watching.

It would
give away
my identity.

Fire midriff
missiles.

W-w-which button?

Whoa!

Not the turbo-twister!

Was thatthe big spin?

Did I win anything?

Aah!

Push all
your buttons!

But you always said
that hurts.

Isn't motherhood
about suffering?

One more surprise,
von duckhausen.

Mcduck.

Don't move,
or I'll sh**t.

Uh-oh.
How do you say,
"the gig is up"?

You had a g*n?

That's my
little surprise.

Mama! You did it!

Yes. But with suffering
comes guilt.

I'm never going to
let you forget this.

Come in.

Where's fenton?

In his room.

For saving
my gold shipment,

You're getting
a week's paid vacation.

Just as I come down

With the purple blotch
beakpox.

See you back at work
next week.
