- Synopsis
- For fishing in Alaska with Mickey, Goofy packs for warmer climes because his great-uncle, Whopper O’Goof, told of a jungle-like area of Alaska with banana trees, crocodiles, and Indians. No-goods Skulk and Tiny, observe Goofy’s odd gear and Skulk recalls Whopper’s oft-told tales of jungles, natives and gold nuggets. They follow stealthily as Mickey and Goofy begin fishing. Goofy’s line snags the carved crocodile head of a totem pole, pulling it out of the river, but, before the villains could move in, a native chief forces the pair to carry the totem pole to an unknown destination.

Indexer Notes
Chapter 1 of 3.
As this story originates in 1959, the year Alaska achieved statehood, writer Fallberg, through Mickey, imparts a fair amount of information about "the 49th state":
MICKEY (to Goofy): "Alaska's our newest state, and our biggest! It's over twice the size of Texas, but only about one percent of it has been surveyed!"
Mickey also tells of Mt. McKinley ("...the highest peak in North America... 20.300 feet up!"), the Alaskan brown bear ("...some of them are over ten feet tall!") and the Chinook ("...the largest salmon, the Chinook, lives here! Some of them weigh a hundred pounds!").
