- Synopsis
- To keep his money safe from the Beagle Boys, Uncle Scrooge surreptitiously hides the cash in the eerie old castle of The Mad Duke of Duckburg. The Beagles get Scrooge to inadvertently lead them to the cash-filled castle, and then give Scrooge a case of amnesia. When the Beagles find themselves imprisoned by the Mad Duke's gauntlet of booby traps, there's no one to remember that they were ever there.

Barks' social commentary on criminal rehabilitation. The Beagle Boys are educated in many useful trades while in "Studious Hours Prison" but, upon release, immediately put that knowledge to work to rob Uncle Scrooge. At the end, a judge sentences the Beagle Boys to be "re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rehabilitated again!"

- Synopsis
- Disguised as a vacuum cleaner salesman, Emil Eagle pushes his way into Gyro's lab, but is foiled before he can vacuum up Gyro's latest invention plans. Emil later returns dressed as a firefighter, gets Gyro to jump into a fireman's-net-trap, and makes off with a passel of plans. With the help of his thinking cap and robot bloodhound, Gyro tracks Emil and tricks the vain "bald eagle" with a hyperactive hair-growing formula.

First appearance of Emil Eagle, who will become a recurring villain throughout various Disney comics in America and abroad. Here, and in his second appearance in Donald Duck (Western, 1962 Series) #109 (September 1966), Emil will be "flesh colored" (likely in reference to his being a "bald eagle" in this story).
With his third and fourth appearances, simultaneously in Donald Duck (Western, 1962 Series) #118 (March 1968) and in the Mickey Mouse serial beginning in Walt Disney's Comics and Stories (Western, 1962 Series) #330 (March 1968), Emil is pictured with "brown feathers" (presumably he invented - or stole - a good baldness cure), and would appear as such for the remainder of the Western Publishing Disney comics run.
In modern European stories, some reprinted in the USA in recent years, Emil Eagle is completely "white".
