Plot
Uncle Scrooge is concerned about the safety and security of his fortune. He has reduced his fortune to $1,000,000 bills and has the bills canned like spinach. Scrooge wants to ship the load to a remote island near Hawaii, but the Beagle Boys take over the ship and force Scrooge, Donald, and the nephews to do the dirty work on the voyage. Once in Hawaii, the Ducks are helped by the Menehunes, and the Beagle Boys are captured by the United States Navy.
