Wow! The reduction ray sure is reducing all that money!

Genre

humor; children

Characters

Richie Rich; Richard Rich, Sr.; Professor Keenbean; Regina Rich; Figmont; Figmont's wife

Synopsis

The reducing ray did successfully reduce the money, but when trying to restore the money to normal size, it causes the vault to blast as the money grows, and destroys the ray. Richie then suggests using a vacuum machine to suck the money into a cave, but it causes further disaster as money is now pouring into the mansion and out the windows. Richie suggests that Keenbean has a freezing machine that turns anything into ice. On Christmas Day, Richie sees on television that a couple are on a snowmobile in Antarctica and discover a frozen heap of green ice which is believed to be money.

I have an extra boiled egg--why don't you have it, Irona?

Genre

humor; children

Characters

Richie Rich; Irona

Synopsis

Richie and Irona go mountain climbing, and discover a 200-year old castle at the peak. The two get trapped, and Irona uses her nose to peck a hole through the roof as a means of escape. When they escape, they find an angry bear, and when Irona screams, she sounds like a blue jay. Irona decides to escape from danger by using big sheets of metal, attach them to her arms, and fly back home safely along with Richie. Richie jokingly said she laid an egg after eating a chicken egg, when she was really sitting on a cannonball under the bush.
