Indexer Notes
Story submitted November 2, 1950. Comment: "The story is set in that section of Southern California which Barks himself lived at the time. However, few of the settings were taken from real life." Comment and synopsis by Michael Barrier from "Carl Barks and the Art of the Comic Book" (1982).
