[bunniefuu]

"Life is like
a hurricane"

"Here in duckburg"

"Race cars, lasers,
aeroplanes"

"It's a duck blur"

"Might solve a mystery"

"Or rewrite history"

"Duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Every day they're out there
making duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Tales of derring-do"

"Bad and good
luck tales"

"D-d-d-danger"

"Watch behind you"

"There's a stranger
out to find you"

"What to do? Just grab
onto some duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Every day they're out there
making duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Tales of derring-do"

"Bad and good
luck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

"Not ponytails"

"Or cottontails"

"No, duck tales"

"Ooh ooh ooh"

Today I proudly announce

That scrooge mcduck will
put thousands to work

Building our new
shopping center...

The scrooge mcmall.

Sir, any comments?

Coming through.

Gangway! Move it!

Take a seat,
sweetcakes.

Incidentally,
love the hair.

Lawrence loudmouth,
here, kduk news.

The king
of trash tv?

What's really behind
this scam of yours?

Scam?

Is there oil beneath
the construction site?

Didn't you bribe
the council?

Where were you the 14th?

I don't remember.

Admit it. You're
lining your pockets

At the people's expense.

Nonsense! You
haven't any facts.

We don't need facts.
We're in television.

at city hall, this is
lawrence loudmouth reporting.

For a month, you've
harangued me on tv.

Why me?

I'm after ratings,

But you're big news.

When big news
gets bad news,

It's good news
for me.

Incidentally,
love the hat.

I'd better relax
in the money bin,

Or I'll do
something violent

To a certain reporter!

Don't push,
gizmokiddies.

Plenty of snapshots
for everyone.

Just not
enough of me.

There, that's handy.

Good morning, sir.

Gizmoguys,
this is my boss.

On tv,
lawrence loudmouth

Says you steal
candy from babies.

You believe that?

Everything
on tv is true.

Come on, guys.

Gizmoduck,
get me out of here!

The little
dickens got up

On the wrong
side of bed.

Where to?

Just take me home.

Right-o!

One gizmoride to go!

the scarlet brigand!

i ordered you
boiled in oil.

it's out of
the frying pan,

into the fire.
en garde!

Do it!
- Yay!

That nervy news hack's

Probably spreading
more lies about me.

Sorry, lads,
pressing business.

ruthless businessman,
political kingpin,

and rumors that scrooge

is an alien
elvis impersonator.

tonight, part 12
of my series...

scrooge mcduck,
thr*at or menace?

Ooh...

You sure don't come off
looking too good.

Huh? And neither do you.
What happened?

Some school kids
repeated stuff

Loudmouth
said about you.

We stood up for you
and got these.

Thanks, but I don't
approve of fist fights.

Use your heads.

We did that, too.

That journalist is
endangering us all.

I've got to prove
I'm good.

Meanwhile, can we
switch back to the movie?

Fine. Whatever.

Hmm, hmm, hmm.

What to do?

What?

What's the big to-do?

That's
the scarlet brigand.

He's masked
and saves people.

He's everybody's hero,

But it's only movies.

Maybe, maybe not.

At last...
The nope diamond!

Wow! That's some
hunk of glass!

In a minute,

It's our hunk
of glass. Gloves.

Gloves!

Applicator.

Applicator.

Now, the most powerful
corrosive substance

Known to man...

Ma's homemade chili!

I want
the leftovers.

Careful. One drop will
burn right through you.

Right.

Now stand back.

Hey, what's the deal?

Oh, I'm so sorry, boys.

I threw cold water
on your plans.

Who are you?

I'm the masked mallard!

You are under arrest!

And you're
a raving loon.

Bouncer, cook
that duck's goose.

Whoa!

I got him, bigtime!

He thinks
it's halloween!

Seeing you, it must be
april fools' day.

Wise guy, eh?

First I takes
this fancy belt.

Aah!

I'm going to get
whomped, ain't i?

Oh, darn.

All right,
beagle boys.

Come out easy, or...

[Scuffling]

We give up!

Help us!

Just save us!

What's with you boys?

Elementary,
my dear officer.

I convinced them
it was time

For a long vacation!

Who was that guy?

He said he was
the masked mallard.

Do we go to jail

Or break
ourselves in?

[Doorbell rings]

It's open.

Late night?

Nobody must know that the
masked mallard's really...

Scrooge mcduck!

Sorry. Did all the stuff
I built work?

Shock buckle,
boomerang,

Nuclear tweezers...
The whole bit.

Now you can activate

Your cane's laser
beam by whistling.

Watch.

[Whistles]

Gyro...

I know.

Needs work.

Extra! Extra!

Grateful city
cheers caped canard.

Thank you,
masked mallard.

As convicted criminals,

How do you feel
about the masked mallard?

A rotten do-gooder.

But he was
very polite.

Even his worst enemies
are masked mallard fans.

the masked mallard
is as big a thr*at

as that scourge scrooge!

we're being
lied to, citizens.

i'm not buying it!

You're the only
one, loudmouth!

here's a news bulletin...

duckburg city council
being held hostage!

There's no business
hours for a superhero.

Unless our demands
are met,

City council members
will watch reruns of...

the fruity bunch!

[Gasp]

A word from our sponsor,

Masked mallard magnetos.

It's futile
to fight me.

I call this
my futility belt.

So, hands up, felons.

Not you, them.

Right.
- Oh, yeah.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Silly me. I forgot to
change out of my costume.

Wow!

It's the masked mallard!

No, it's not.
It's uncle scrooge!

You're both right.

Say what?

That scarlet
brigand movie

Showed I could do
good deeds

With a secret
identity.

If nobody knew
you were scrooge mcduck,

They wouldn't
automatically think

You're doing
something greedy?

Aye, something
like that.

Oh, now I get it.

Oh, boy, oh, boy!

We got a genuine
superhero in the house.

Only till
tomorrow.

I'll reveal
my true identity

And prove
I'm a good egg.

Testing, 1, 2...

Ladies and gents, I have
an important announcement.

Duckburg's been thrilled
by the masked mallard.

Stop the presses!
Hold the phone!

What is it,
loudmouth?

You should see
this morning's paper.

This was taken as the masked
mallard robbed the bank!

What? B-b-but...

The masked mallard's
turned to crime!

Just as this
reporter predicted,

Duckburg's hero
is a menace to society!

What do you say?

Well, i, uh...

Hmm, uh, i...

Stay tuned!

Everywhere I turn,
it's masked mallard this

And masked mallard that.

Hiya, mr. Mcduck.

Why are you here?

I love
the art museum.

The history,
the culture...

And the free food!

How about that
masked mallard?

He turned out
to be some creep.

I don't
want to hear it!

Well, pardon
my face!

Ladies and gentlemen,

Your attention please!

Thanks to a generous
donation by buffy parvenu,

I now present the museum's
newest acquisition...

Napoleon bonaparte's
very own, solid gold...

Popcorn bowl!

Thank you.
- As the old saying goes,

'Tis better to give
than to receive.

That's a matter
of opinion.

Oh, the masked mallard!

Aha! There
is an imposter!

That's masked mallard,
with two ls.

Gizmoduck!

At last we meet,
my masked amigo.

You've met your match.

Want me to surrender?

Yes! Because if you
persist, i, gizmoduck,

Shall give you what for.

If what for isn't enough,
you'll get what five!

Ok, you win.

In fact, you
deserve a prize!

That's nice
of you, but...

Uh-oh!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Yeow!

[Crash]

Adios, amigo.

Gizmoduck,
say something.

"I'm a little teapot"

"Short and stout"

it's time for
the masked mallard report,

with your host,
lawrence loudmouth!

we've got new photos

of the masked mallard's
latest crimes

in my series...

scrooge mcduck,
get out of town.

I've had enough!

It's time the real
masked mallard returned.

You're going to become
the masked mallard?

Yes. I'll
track down that fake,

Drag him on
loudmouth's show,

And prove there's
two masked mallards.

They'll both be
off my back.

[Snoring]

Must have dozed off.

Still no sign of
that counterfeit... Aha!

We'll see who's
the real masked mallard.

Gotcha!

Let me go.

Not until you give back

That popcorn bowl
you stole,

You nefarious
ne'er-do-well.

Now we'll see who's
the mastermind

Behind this mayhem.

Oh, no. Don't!

Scrooge mcduck!

Well, there goes this
year's christmas bonus.

My employer a criminal!

How to cope?
What to do?

What about
book contracts?

You've got
the wrong duck.

See?

Uh, see what?

The imposter.

He was
right there.

Yeah. Maybe
you've taken

One too many nose dives
into that money bin.

I'm not crazy!

You saw me and the masked
mallard outside the museum?

Yes...

Isn't that a clue?

No...

If you are
the masked mallard,

I have to bring you in.

If you don't mind.

Sorry, I'll take
a rain check.

That guy really
fries my diodes.

stay on the lookout
for the masked mallard,

also known as
scrooge mcduck.

he's armed and dangerous.

Not to mention wet and
[cough] miserable.

Serves me right,

Thinking dressing up
like this

Would solve
problems like that.

at 5:00,
the latest photos

of that mercenary mcduck

continuing
his crime spree.

Mercenary? With all the
money I've donated?

Wait a penny-pinching minute.

How come
only loudmouth

Gets sh*ts of
that phony at work?

Maybe I can prove

There's more than
one masked mallard.

Mighty expensive digs for
a humble journalist.

Ok, loudmouth,
now we'll see

Who's the star of
this masquerade ball.

Stars? I'll
show you stars.

Aah...

Oh, me sore head.

Someone shut the win...

Oh.

Don't wiggle
around, mcduck.

It's 30 stories down.

Why do this?

I told you... Ratings!

With every report,
I got hotter.

One more heist
and I'm gone,

While you hang
for the crime.

Loudmouth's right... One wrong
move, and I'm street pizza!

Ah, good as gold...

Because it is!

Freeze, uh, please!

Come quietly,
mr. Mcduck.

Gizmoduck is trying
not to hurt me,

But we're not fighting.

Being beltless,
I'm helpless.

Hold on.

Loudmouth may have
my futility belt,

But he didn't
swap canes.

Here goes nothing.

[Whistles]

Whoa!

Come on, gizmoduck.

Mr. Mcduck, sir,

Time out, ok?

Truce! Take five!

Chill out.

That man definitely
needs therapy.

Yeow!

My armor is fatally
attracted to this magnet!

Another machine
has a real crush on you!

Say goodbye, gizmogeek.

You say goodbye,
I say hello.

Scrooge,
this is a surprise.

I'm seeing
double.

No tricks,
loudmouth.

Just us, mallard to
mallard. En garde!

Holy cow!
There's two of them!

It's over, mcduck.

Look, mcduck,
I'm unarmed.

Then you need this.

I got... It!

How the mighty
have fallen.

There goes the masked
mallard suit.

My reputation's
restored,

And they've ok'd my plan
for scrooge mcmall.

Lawrence loudmouth's
doing weather and sports

At deviled egg island
penitentiary.

I didn't need
a superhero suit

To do good.

It didn't help.

Sometimes that's
my problem.

I never want to see
that getup as long...

Run for your lives,
evildoers!

The titanic trio
has arrived!

Not again.

No!

Good costumes!
They're working already.
