Go right, louie!

Tackle him!

Bring her here, dewey!

I got it! I got it!

[Crash]

Oh, boy,
did I get it.

Why don't you play
something civil
like jacks?

Ick! Jacks is
for wimps.

Your uncle's
returning soon
from his checkup.

You know
he disapproves
of roughhousing.

We'll stop.

Turn her again, dewey!

Uhh!

Aah!

[Gasps]

[Gasp]
[gasp]
[gasp]

Looks like we broke
more than our promise.

Uncle scrooge
will break us

Into 1,000 pieces
when he finds out.

Well, who says
he has to?

Are you thinking
the same thing?

Maybe. Are you thinking
something sneaky?

Yep. Ha ha.

Sometimes we're
so alike it's scary.

Let's go.

Can you fix a clock,
dr. Clockenspiel?

Can you?

No way.
Too far gone.

You got to fix it.

Please?
Pretty please?

Surely the old ticker
has some time left.

Sorry, boys,
but the answer is no.

Ok. We'd tried
being nice,

Now let's try
plan b.

Gotcha.

Aah!

Whaah!

Aah!

Whaah! Aah! Aah!

Ok, ok. I'll fix it.

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

Great.

Thanks.

See you later,
dr. Clockenspiel.

Ha ha!

Look at that.

This new magnetized
tip lets me pick up

Any coin
off the street.

The thrills never stop,
do they, sir?

Perhaps now you can
afford a real doctor,

Instead of visiting
the free clinic.

Nonsense.

A penny scrounged
is a penny earned.

[Ring]

[Ring]

Mcduck residence.

Oh, one moment, please.

It's dr. Something-or-other.

Hi, doctor. What are
the results?

The face and hands
are fine,

But the ticker
is beyond repair.

Uhh! Are you sure?

It may work
another few days,

But this old ticker's
time has run out.

Is there anything
I can do?

You could sell
the spare parts.

I'm a goner.

Ahh. Cut off
in my financial prime.

I should have tried
being physically fit,

Instead of fiscally fit.

What am
I going to do?

I'm too rich to die.

Here he comes.

Quick. Hide where
the clock was.

[Whistling]

Hi, uncle scrooge.

How's our
favorite uncle?

Do not ask.

Just run along and
buy an ice cream.

Ahh! A dollar!

Here. Buy several.

You know something's
wrong, don't you?

Aye...
So, live it up.

Buy the entire
franchise.

Promise me you'll
take good care
of webigail.

Oh!
Yeah!

Sure thing.

Anything you say,
uncle scrooge.

We really should
tell uncle scrooge

About the
grandfather clock.

Huey's right. It's
the woodchuck thing to do.

Ok, then let's vote.

All in favor of telling,
raise your hand.

[Whistling]

So much for democracy.

Let's go!

How about lunch,
mrs. Beakley?

No, thanks.
I've already eaten.

No. For me.

You? You always
said lunch is
for wimps.

Aye, but I've had
an att*ck--

Uhh...change of heart.

Mmm. Have I ever said
you're a good cook?

Uhh, not exactly.

You said
the way I look,

I must
enjoy cooking.

Well, you deserve
a raise.

Really?

Effective
immediately?

No. Effective
two days from now.

It will be
less painful.

To the money bin, sir?

Aye.

One last visit.

After you drop me off,

Take the day off.

You claim days off
are for wimps.

Well, you've
my permission
to wimp out.

Oh, thank you, sir.

How wimpathetic of you.

Mcduck enterprises.

Fenton crackshell
speaking.

He's not here.
Can I take a message?

This is nurse hatchet
at the free clinic.

Mr. Mcduck's
test results are in.

He's in fine health,

Except for a corn
on his foot.

If he developed
a cauliflower ear,

He'll really be
a vegetable, huh?

Hello? Hello?

[Groaning]

Ah, there you are.

What are you
doing in here?

I'm deciding what to do
with my fortune

Should something
happen to me.

I'd like to leave it
to my nephews,

But it's an awesome
responsibility.

My ma feels
the same way

About leaving me
her trailer.

How can I keep this away
from the beagle boys?

I know how!

This better not be
another half-baked idea.

No. It's a banana
bran flakes

Business brochure
best bet.

Computer banking.

How will that help?

Put this money
in banks,

Then move your money
by computer.

That way it's safe
from the beagle boys.

What's my other
alternative?

A very, very,
very, very, very
big mattress.

Ok, I'll try it.
Now leave me alone.

I want to take
one last money swim.

Is that
the last truckload?

It better be.
There's not another
truck around.

I hope I did
the right thing.

You did. Let's go to
the mansion.

I'll show you how
the computer works.

Say you want to invest
everything in stocks.

You push this button
andvoila.

Or you can
put everything

In a savings account
like this.

Or you can put
everything

In a checking
account and--

Oy!

What happened?

[Gulp] happened?

Happened?

Say, nice game those
duckburg dodgers

Had last night, huh?

Fenton, what's wrong?

What makes you think
something's wrong?

You're sweating more
than mrs. Beakley
at a disco.

It seems
there's a glitch
in the computer.

What kind?

The kind that consumes
lots of money.

Get it back!

I can't, sir.

It's gone!

What do you mean?
It was just here.

That's how computers are.

Something
like that happening

Was a chance
in a billion,

Which is more
than you have now.

I've worked
all me life
for that money.

I won't die
a pauper!

Oh! Me foot.

Careful. Settle down.

You can't do anything.

Never say that to me.

I won't lose
me fortune

And leave
my nephews penniless--

No matter how sick I am.

Gee!

Overreacting to a corn,
wouldn't you say?

Can you help me
get back me money?

If you can't
get it out,

Maybe you can go in
after it.

Go into a computer?

Have you flipped
your floppy disk?

According to
my calculations,

I'll transform you to
an electronic impulse,

Then to a floppy disk
and into the computer.

Fine. Let's do it.

I should warn you.
This could be risky.

You might
not return.

I want to go, too.

Absolutely not.
It's too risky.

This is my fault.

I have to help.

I said no.

But mr. Mcduck!

No.

You got to let me.

No!

All right. Time to do
what the nephews do.

Plan b.

Whaah!

Whaah! I want to go!
I want to go!

All right,
you can go.

I don't have
time to argue...
Literally.

Once we're inside
the computer,

Where will
the money be?

I'd head
for the bad sector.

That's where
glitches hide.

Thanks, gyro.
Ready, fenton?

Ready, willing, and
computer compatible.

Aah!
Aah!

I'm on
a top-secret project.

Oh, dear. Can I help?

Don't let anyone
near mr. Mcduck's
computer

Until I'm finished.

Oh, I'll do my best.

One small disk
for a computer,

One giant step
for duck-kind.

Whoa!
Whoa!

The glitch is probably
in a bad sector.

Where would that be?

That looks like
a bad sector.

Hold on
to your software.

Reverse works ok.

This is one scary
neighborhood.

It reminds me
of home.

What's that? Money!

This must be mine.

Yikes!

There's a major something
out there, mr. Mcduck.

Hey! Where'd it go?

Stop fooling around,
fenton.

[Burp]

Aah! What's that?

The glitch
that ate my money.

That's a moby glitch.

After it.

You don't want to test
reverse gear again?

No. Go.

Sitting
before a screen
makes me hungry.

I wonder what's
to eat around here.

Guys, let's play
a computer game.

Which one?

How about
quackman?

Great.

Uhh!

Who changed
the scenery?

Hey, look!

What are scrooge
and fenton doing
in there?

Beats me, but the gobbler's
about to eat them.

Make them run. Quick!

Uh-oh!

I feel a mega-byte
coming on!

Move your tail feathers.

Louie, you're sending them
into the zapping zone!

Yikes! How did you
talk me into this?

Thanks for
the broccoli sandwich,
mrs. Beakley.

Boys! What are
you doing?

Well, uncle scrooge
always lets us

Play computer games.

Not when he's in it.

You mean that
really is them?

In the flesh--

Uh, the digital--
whatever.

You got to
save them, gyro,

Before they're
gobbled up.

It's too late.
They're trapped.

Help!
Help!

How do you stop
this program?

You can't until
the game is over.

Oh, yes, you can.

The way I get out
when I'm losing.

No, louie, don't!

Not the plug!

Oh, no! You've lost
the program.

They're gone.

I haven't seen
so many sparks

Since mama's
curlers shorted.

Speaking of
short circuits,

What's happened
to the disk drive?

It's a wreck.

Uhh!

Whoa!

I'll put it
in second gear.

Second seemed loose.
Better try third.

There she blows!

Can we go in there
with them?

Can we, gyro?

Yeah. Can we?

I don't know
where they are.

The monitor's black.

I think I found them.

They're leaving
the system.

Where to?

It looks like
they're trying to reach out

And touch someone through
the telephone system.

Look out
for that fork
in the road.

Whoops! Second gear isn't
the only thing loose.

What was that?

First gear.

Is it important?

Not if we still had
a second and third.

Reverse ho!

He's turning to fight.
Back up.

I can't. I'm in
forward reverse--

Backwards forwards,
I mean--

Forget it.
You're backwards and dizzy.

Aah!
Aah!

The things you do
to save a few
quadzillion bucks.

What can we do?

Where did
uncle scrooge go?

Since he entered
the phone modem,

Maybe I can talk
to him.

Mr. Mcduck? Hello?
Can you hear me?

I dare you
to come after me.

Allow me. I'll get
your money back.

No, fenton.
It's too dangerous.

Danger is
my middle name.

Really?

Actually,
they call me ishmael,

But I lean toward
the dramatic.

[Punching]

Not exactly
user friendly is he?

[Punching]

How about I pay back

The money I lost
in monthly installments?

[Punching]

Ooh, fenton.

[Smacking lips]

[Burp]

Fenton, no!

Mr. Mcduck, hello.
Can you hear me?

Gyro? Yes, yes,
I can hear you.

Help!

Moby glitch ate fenton.

I'm next.
What should I do?

Think. Think.

I got to think
of something.

Gyro, stop!
You'll scramble
your brain!

Of course!
You can scramble
the glitch

If you had a magnet.

I do. On my cane.

Ok, you computerized
garbage disposal,

Come and get me.

Mr. Mcduck,
are you there?

Uncle scrooge!

Uncle scrooge!

Fenton, you're alive!

You saved us,
mr. Mcduck.

You saved us!

♪ Ding dong,
the glitch is dead ♪

♪ Wicked glitch,
the glitch
is dead ♪♪

The money's
all mine again.

Put me up, gyro.

Hold on tight.

I'm going to
transfer you
to your money bin.

Uncle scrooge,
you're all right!

We're glad
to have you back.

It's good to be back,

But I'll be
going again soon...

Permanently.

Where are you going?

To that money bin
in the sky.

Take care of this money.
It's yours now.

Uncle scrooge,
what are you
talking about?

Me old ticker.

It's time has
come and gone.

Aren't you
making too much
of that corn?

Who said anything
about my corn?

The nurse who called
about your checkup.

The doctor called
this morning

And said
my ticker's had it.

Uh-oh. He wasn't talking
about your ticker.

It's the one in
your grandfather clock

That we broke.

What?

I risked my life
when I didn't have to?

Ooh! You boys!

Aah!

Whaah! Whaah! Aah!

Take it easy,

Or you'll break
your ticker.

I never knew
he knew about plan b.

No, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no!

Ha ha ha ha ha!
