You call yourselves
research scientists?

5 Years and $1 million,

And all you've got
is this bug?

If I wanted more bugs,

I would've picked
your fleas for free.

These are
no ordinary bugs,

They're metal mites.

You idiots!

I don't care
what they're made of!

Mr. Glumgold, they're
not made of metal.

They eat metal!

Aye! You're a genius!

These are just
what I need

To destroy
scrooge mcduck's fortune!

Ha ha ha!

Ah, my wee beauties.

Uncle scrooge loves you,
one and all!

Mr. Mcduck,
I'm counting!

Sorry, fenton.
I'm allergic to money.

I touch it,

And break out
in a rash of cash.

Now, where was i?

Oh, yes.

92,072, 92,073...

32,005,001,

$143,619,950 Exactly!

Hmm...oh, my,
this is terrible.

What is it, mr. Mcduck?

You're one 1 penny short.

Count them again.

But--

No buts! Count!

Oh.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

27,240...27,200...

1,000,261, 1,000,262...

30,043,668...

$143,619,950.

Ptoo! And 1 cent!

Perfect.

Pardon my saying so,

But you spent


I dinna care.

I had to know
it was all here.

You understand
what to do?

Perfectly,
mr. Gleamgold.

I mean, goldheart.

Uh, heartburn.

Glumgold,
you brick-brain!

That's very perceptive.

People not aware
of dijon's brain.

Yow!

Thank you, sir.

Just get these
metal mites into
scrooge's money bin.

You play practical joke?

Make scrooge very,
very itchy, itchy?

It's no joke.

After the they eat all
of scrooge's gold,

He no more richy, richy.

Ugh.

Look what
you've done!

Clumsy dijon.

Allow me.

That's enough of that!

Sorry. Wrong pocket.

Oh, dijon,
you clever devil!

Are you thinking what
I think you're thinking?

I thought so.

[Munching]

Oh, you wonderful
little creatures.

You have made dijon
a rich man!

Hold it right there,
you thief.

Oh, no!

Oh, yes!

Oh, no!

[Crash]

Gloomgold will be
even gloomier

If dijon not get
his bugs back.

Hello, mr. Goldbloom?

Glumgold!

This is
your humble dijon.

Some of your
little buggies
managed to escape.

Ach!
How many escaped?

Oh, just a few.

Maybe all of them.

And they're headed
for the duckburg
bean factory.

You numskull, you've
ruined everything.

The duckburg
bean factory?

That's owned
by scrooge mcduck.

Follow those bugs
and keep me posted.

Yes, mr. Goldfish.

Glumgold!

What the--

Must be defective cans.

The beans are alive!

Step right up,
ladies and gentlemen,

And get your free
saltine crackers.

Ice cold lemonade,
$1.00 a glass.

I'll take one!

Easy now.
There's plenty.

How we doing?

Hmm. Better than
I expected.

Mr. Mcduck.

Fenton, prepare
a master plan

For a cr*cker
and lemonade franchise.

They're onto something.

The bean factory called.
Business is going
to pieces.

Why didn't you say so?

Oh, me bagpipes!

Me beans are
on the warpath.

These aren't beans.
They're mites.

They're the mightiest mites
I've ever seen.

This is walter cronduck
reporting

From duckburg's
bean factory,

Which is being devoured
by metal-eating bugs.

Ooh, this is the best news
I've seen all week.

Help!

You'd better call
the fire department.

They're here.

In that case,
call the police.

I'll call paramedics.

There's something
in your eye.

There's nothing
in me eye.

It's an excuse for you
to change to gizmoduck.

Oh, quite right.
I've got to make
an urgent call

To, uh,
my mother.

Come here,
little buggies.

I've been beaned
by the beans.

Hurry! Someone!

Blathering blatherskite!

Have no fear,
gizmoduck is here.

Ptoo! Yuck!
I hate beans!

Thank you, sir.

Ohh!

Gizmoduck, help!

Stop, you mangy,
metal-munching mites,

You measly,
meandering, metal--

Would you
save me already?

Why, certainly!

I'll spritz
those bugs with my
gizmobot spritzer.

Whoops! Must have been
my paint sprayer
attachment.

Yii!

You thought my head
only had brains.

I'd never think that.

You may thank me
for saving the day.

The bean factory has
just bit the dust.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

The bean factory was
only the appetizer.

Follow dijon
to today's main course.

They're heading straight
for my money bin!

Stop them!

Yes, sir!

Ooh, I hate that.

Stop right there.

What is the opposite
of stop?

Go?

If you insist.

For you,
you're under arrest,

For eating the bean factory
without an invitation.

My supersuit is equipped

With the necessities
of law enforcement.

Put out your hands,

While I cuff you with these
microscopic handcuffs.

All right,
this means w*r!

I'll suck you into my
shop vac and rug shampooer.

Ha! Got them!

Uh-oh. Something tells me

I made a big mistake.

Hey! Cut that out!

My gizmo suit!

Hey, ooh.
Hey, stop it.

Ooh. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa!

Without my gizmo suit

I'm mild-mallard accountant
fenton crackshell--

Super wimp.

The bugs just destroyed
the bean factory

And are heading
through downtown

To scrooge mcduck's
money bin.

Quick, somebody,

Call the national guard.

Somebody call
the national guard?

Quick. Stop those bugs

Before they reach my money.

Yes, sir,
mr. Mcduck.

Move out!

You have 10 seconds
to surrender

Or we fire.

Please, no more.
We surrender.

Ah, dijon love
window shopping.

Ladies and gentlemen,
it's incredible.

They're devouring
everything

In their path.

Huh?

if that's not bad enough,
they're multiplying.

Bad? That's wonderful.

Those bugs won't be
the only ones multiplying.

Without my gizmo suit,

I'll be adding,
subtracting,

Multiplying,
and dividing for life

As a worthless accountant.

Ah, I was never
a real superhero.

The suit was super,
not fenton crackshell.

Gyro.

I heard
all about it.

This contraption
will stop those
metal mites.

What?

An a*t*matic
bubble gum
chewing machine.

Dah!

Are you crazy?

That won't stop them.

A good inventor
never says never

Before he tries
his invention.

It's working.

No, it's not.

They're eating it.

After eating
the machine,

They'll stick
to the bubble.

I hope you're right.

You did it!
Gyro, my boy!

Yahoo!

Look what you've done.

Yaah!

248...249...

$250.

We'll never top that.

We'll give away
chili peppers

And sell water
at $1.00 a glass.

What's that?

It's a bubble.

The bugs are headed
toward the money bin.

If they continue,

Mcduck's fortune
will be gone.

Did your hear that?

Uncle scrooge's money
is under att*ck.

Sounds like a job for
the junior woodchucks.

the metal mites
are parachuting down.

it's total chaos here.

Destroying scrooge's
money is more fun

Than making my own.

There they are.

There must be millions.

The junior woodchuck manual

Says to stop a crawling
insect invasion, use a moat.

Like the water
around castles?

Exactly.

Well, let's do it!

Oh, I cannot--

Look!

[Honk honk]

That's the signal.

Here goes!

They've saved
the money bin.

I wonder how those bugs
will make it--whoa!

Across.

Your money bin
is safe from--

Wait.

They're crossing
the moat.

Ohh.

they're nearing
the money bin.

Chew 'em to the left,
chew 'em to the right,

Grab them in the gold
and bite, bite, bite.

Me fortune's going to
become bug food.

Uh, mr. Mcduck?

Fenton, where were you?

Thinking.

You hired me to protect
your money bin,

But I'm a spineless wimp.

I'll have to--

I've got to save
my money.

Resign.

I'll have to resign.

Ooh. Ah. Oh.

Uncle scrooge...

We tried to stop
the bugs.

A fine try, lads.

Let's see if
we can do better.

Yucky bugs will
be here any minute.

They'll eat this door
as if it's swiss cheese.

Not if it's covered
in cement.

Let's do it.
Hooray.

I would like
to tender--

Not now, fenton.

There. It's done.

They're here.

It worked.

My money's safe.

There's a lot
of those fellas.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

Uncle scrooge, look.

They're headed for
the alarm box.

They're attracted to metal
like it's calling them.

Attracted? Calling them?
Of course, that's it.

They've chewed through
into the vault.

I've got to get
to me money.

Out of the way, uncle.

Me money!

Blathering
blatherskite!

Next time
you'll think twice

Before eating
gizmoduck's supersuit.

Way to go, fenton.

Metal in their tummies
made it easy.

Dinna worry,
my precious friends.

You're safe and sound
with scroogey now.

Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!

He's done it.

Fenton crackshell
has saved the money bin.

The money's safe.

Ach! I was so close,
so close.

I'm proud of you,
fenton.

What for?

Without a supersuit,
I'm just a nobody.

That's why
I've got to resign.

But before you leave,

Get rid of
these pests for me.

Yes, sir.

Wait a minute.
Something's wrong.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

I thought so.
There's one mite missing.

Do you realize
what this means?

It could multiply.
Me money isn't safe.

What is it?

Got him.

You're a real hero,
fenton.

You did it
without super stuff.

Hey, I did, didn't i?

But if you've got to
resign, I understand.

Resign?

Me? No way.

With a new gizmo suit,

I'll be super
outside and in.

And besides,
I've been thinking.

These mites
could make us rich

At mcduck's
wrecking company.

Ready when you are,
fenton.

Psst.

Why are you here?

I have good news
and bad news.

The bad news is mcduck
is making millions.

Ach!

The good news is--

Yes?

Dijon stole some bugs

From the
construction site.

You idiot. No!

Oops. Sorry,
mr. Gloomduck.

Glumgold!
