Synopsis
Donald and the boys are living it up in Uncle Scrooge's beach house complete with yacht, but only until they sell both the property and the yacht for Scrooge. Wanting to continue the soft life all summer, Donald uproots the "For Sale" sign, and takes the boys for a cruise on the yacht. Trouble begins when Uncle Scrooge comes to the beach house to check on things, and is compounded by the seafaring ducks coming across an old parrot on a piece of driftwood... with a treasure map etched on its beak.
