he's hot,
he's new, he's in.

he's gizmo duck.

who's gizmo duck really?

we'll try to answer
that question...

this is
geralduck rivera.

we'll begin discussing
who is gizmo


when our guests
stop fighting.

and our studio
audience, too.

Gizmo duck,
gizmo duck

Is all
they talk about.

I'm such
a popular boy.

What good is it?

Just once
I'd like to say,

"There goes my son,
the secret identity."

I know. It's hard keeping
this a secret these days.

Who knows how many cads

Want to find out
who gizmo duck really is?

It's got to be here!

You're right.
It has to be.

Put him
on the list.

What's making
you boys excited?

We might know
who gizmo is.

What makes you think
you can find out?

'Cause he's practically
part of the family.

He's been here so much,

The welcome mat
has skid marks.

Now we need proof.

Mr. Mcduck should have
arrived an hour ago.

Why's he late?

I canna believe it...

A cross-country flight
in reverse.

I warned you my
forward gear was sticky.

Better hold on
to your tail feathers!

Blabbering blatherskite!

Mr. Mcduck,
are you all right?

Uh, aye.
For a second,

I saw my life passing
by... Backwards.

Ahh.

Why are you here?

We're investigating
the secret of the century.

We know
who gizmo is.

You do?

Yeah! And he's
right here!

They do know!

Who is he?

You!

No, no, no!

It can't be me!

I wasn't near gizmo!

Fenton, they're pointing
at launchpad.

Launchpad?

We wrote down
the similarities

Between launchpad
and gizmo.

He's tall.

Not too tall.

He's quick.

Not too quick.

He crashes a lot.

You describe me
to a t.

Wait a minute!

I've crashed before!

Fenton!

Aw, come on, fenton.

you couldn't
be gizmo duck.

What do you mean?

We share similarities.

You seen our beaks?

Fenton!

Will you knock it off?

Let me tell,
just once.

I never get
the glory.

Fenton, you can't.

It's nice to be
considered a superhero,

But I'm not really
gizmo duck.

Oh, yeah!
Sure you're not!

Someday
you'll slip up.

Then we'll
have our proof.

It's just as well they think
you're gizmo, launchpad.

What?

Then they won't snoop
around the real gizmo.

You'll be performing
a small service

For our big hero.

You just play dumb.

No problem.

No problemo!

I can't believe
your nephews

Won't consider me secret
identity material.

Don't be hard
on them.

I know, and
I canna believe it.

This should
brighten your day.

The mayor's asked me for a
guest list to honor gizmo.

A gala event
for little old moi?

It's about time!

Hey,
where's my name?

Don't tell me I'm not good
enough to be invited.

You're coming
as gizmo duck!

Oh, good point.

Tributes really do
lift the spirits.

Fenton!

Fenton!

Look what we found
in launchpad's toolshed.

It's gizmo duck's elbow!

Blabbering
blatherskite!

It's just
a lousy stovepipe.

Well, it could be
an elbow.

Nonsense! You don't
know who gizmo duck is!

Yeah, and I suppose
you do.

You bet!

Then why not tell us?

Well, i... I can't.

Yeah, 'cause
you don't know.

I'll tell you who.

I shouldn't.
I must!

No. Yes.
Gizmo duck is...

I won't say.

I got to.

Never, never!
I must!

Gizmo duck
happens to be...

Aah!

I feel better now.

Well, we're waiting.

Ok, so maybe
I don't know,

But I bet
he isn't launchpad.

We'll see
at gizmo duck's tribute.

Launchpad and gizmo are
supposed to be there.

If one
doesn't show,

We'll know they're
the same person.

If they both show,
you'll know they're not.

Hello out there.

This is
webwa walters speaking

From the marvelous
gizmo duck tribute.

Oh, look, here comes
another arrival...

Launchpad mcquack.

How do you feel

When we honor
a remarkable hero?

Pretty choked up.

I get misty-eyed
when there's free eats.

I didn't know this
was a costume party.

It wasn't
supposed to be,

But everyone wanted to
dress up to honor gizmo.

I guess you'll put
on your suit later, eh?

Yeah, when gizmo duck
arrives, right, launchpad?

You never know, boys.

You never know.

Oh, here comes
another costumed guest.

I must say your outfit
is truly extraordinary.

Why, thank you.

Who are you?

I am gizmo duck!

No, who are you really?

I'm really
gizmo duck. I'm...

All right, be difficult, mr.
Pretender.

Mr. Mcduck, I'm here.

Who are you?

Gizmo duck!

No, who are you really?

Is webwa walters paying
you to say this?

It's me.

Sorry.

It's hard to tell
who's who tonight.

There they are. Excuse me, mr.
Mcduck.

We'll stick to you
like chewing gum.

You won't have to.

I'm here.

Who are you?

Read my beak!

I'm gizmo duck!

G-i-z-m-o duck.

The first, the original,
the classic!

You look like him,
sort of.

I'll prove it!

How's that?

Not bad,
but check this out.

Think that's
cute, watch this.

I got everyone b*at.

Mine contains an entire
home entertainment system.

Do you believe this?

Look out!

It's going to blow!

Aah!
- Aah!

Run, boys!

Worry not,
fair people.

It might not hurt
to get a hot wax.

Calm down,
everyone.

Gizmo duck saved us.

Speaking of gizmo duck,
where's launchpad?

Hey! Look!

Anyone get
that m*ssile's number?

He's been blasted!

This proves
he's gizmo duck.

Who's gizmo duck?

That guy.

It's him!
- He saved us!

It's gizmo duck!

Three cheers
for gizmo duck.

Hip, hip, hooray!

Hip, hip, hooray!

folks.

A webwa walters exclusive.

Everyone

is weally gizmo duck.

Rumors are flying

is gizmo duck.

In my quest
for truth

And better ratings,

I have come
to mcquack's house.

Hello and welcome to
the geralduck rivera show.

Hey!

Weren't you girls
on my in-depth special

On superhero
groupies?

Quite possible. These are
my new best friends,

The gizmoettes.

Mary, sherry, terry,

And hildegard.

Are these
groupies proof

You're gizmo duck?

I never said I was.

Do you deny it?

I'm not saying.

You deny the denial?

Uh, well, is that
like begin the beguine?

He's so evasive.

Everyone thinks
he's gizmo duck.

I'll tell him to
stop fooling around.

Allow me, sir.

I'm tired of this.

No doubt about it.

That baboon
must be gizmo duck.

You mean geralduck rivera?

No, not
geralduck rivera.

Launchpad mcquack!

Get the van.

Scrooge's money
is ours

If we handle
that sap.

This gizmo duck charade
must end!

There are laws against
impersonating heroes.

Fenton, I like
playing superhero.

For once,
I'm getting the girls.

Launchie, are you
only pretending

You're
gizmo duck?

As far as anyone knows,

I could be gizmo duck.

[Knock on door]

Now what?

Pickup service.

What's getting
picked up?

Whoa!

Blabbering blatherskite!

It's those vandals,
the beagle boys!

Ha ha ha!

You're not so tough

Without your gizmo
duck suit.

But I'm
not gizmo duck.

No. And you
never will be

While
we have you.

Come on, boys.

Since we have
scrooge's security guard,

It's open season
on his money.

My ultraviolet
tire-track tracker

Should lead me
to those desperados.

Aha! And illegally parked,
no less.

Gizmo duck!

Once we pass
these alarm sensors,

The money's ours.

Any questions?

Yeah. Me. Me!

What is it?

Can I connect
the dots?

Can I connect...

Sit down!

[Crash]

Shame on you!

He's heavy,
but still your brother.

Uh... How did he
get his suit?

Who cares?
- Let's split this joint.

Am I glad
to see you!

I hope you've
learned a lesson.

Oh, you bet.

Forget carpeting and stick
with hardwood floors.

No! I mean
impersonating me!

Oh, yeah. Heh.

I promise I'll
never do that again.

Good to hear.

There are other
ways to get girls.

Like
ballroom dancing.

Super news, mother.
Problem solved!

Never again
will anyone believe

Launchpad
is gizmo duck.

Oh, really?

You should watch
more tv.

this startling
development

came after police
rolled out the carpet

for the beagle boys.

Mcquack
did this to us.

We saw it with our
own beady eyes.

the police
checked their story.

When we left,
he was launchpad.

The next minute,
he was that metal duck.

Ooh. It was scary!

For once, they're
telling the truth.

there you have it.

proof that launchpad
is the man behind the mask.

I wonder if cluck kent
ever had days like this.

Gizmo duck!
- Gizmo!

Give me an autograph!

Officer,
you got to come.

It's like the night of
the living dead duck.


What do you mean, I can
take care of myself?

I've been through some
tight squeezes before...

Ooh!

Mr. Mcd, fenton,
am I glad you're here.

Sure.

I told you about
pretending.

We've got to
stop this.

How?
No one will listen.

Make them listen.

I know exactly how.

Great weather for a
public confession.

All the tv networks
are here,

As I arranged.

Launchpad, what's
the announcement about,

Gizmo duck?

Afraid so, fellas.

I'm going to
bare my soul.

Can you do that
on television?

We want gizmo duck!

I hope they
believe me.

I've arranged
for gizmo duck

To appear
during your speech.

Hooray!
- Yay!

thank you, thank you.

ahem.

rumors that
i am gizmo duck

are, as my friend
would say,

blabbering blatherskite.

Uh-oh.

I got to get my suit!

[Gasp]

My suit!

And so, in conclusion,

I want to reemphasize
that I am not gizmo duck.

[Gasp]

Well, I've
been wrong before.

Yay!
- Yay!

Yay!
- Yay!

Oh, no!
It's not fair!

Now he really is
gizmo duck.

You fooled us!

Got any
more tricks?

I just want to
get out of this.

Maybe one
of these buttons...

[Tweet tweet]

Maybe this one.

No! Don't touch!

Release that button.

[Meow]

Let this be the one
that stops me.

Whew!

What?

Oh, no!

Not the
robot-rooter button!

Maybe
this button.

Oops.

Eep.

Help!

Are you ok,
launchpad?

Yeah, except that m*ssile
launch was pretty sweltering.

I could sure
use some water.

I've heard of surf city,
but this is ridiculous!

Help!

H-h-help!

You can't swim
in that suit.

I've got to reach
that crane.

Help! I feel like
a canned tuna!

All those years flycasting
on lake doebegone

Better pay off.

I hope there's
a spin-dry cycle.

Hey, look!

That guy
saved gizmo duck.

Yay!
- Yay!

Can you believe it,
mr. Mcduck?

They're calling me
a hero!

Not only that,

No one believes
launchpad anymore.

Who would after
all his damage?

You got the suit?

Yeah.
I'll need it.

I'll rebuild
the dam,

Then dry everyone's
carpet in duckburg.

Hey, everybody.
Guess what.

Since launchpad
isn't gizmo duck,

Here's a new
suspect list.

I did it!

I made the list.

Number two...
Right under...

Mrs. Beakly?
