Characters
Dewey Duck; Donald Duck; Huey Duck; Louie Duck; Gladstone Gander; Philo T. Ellic (rich stamp collector)
Synopsis
The ducks go to British Guiana in search of the world's rarest stamp, a one-cent magenta of 1856, and find it on a letter in the possession of El Dorado, a giant golden Indian. After they retrieve the letter, the ducks learn that it is addressed to a deceased Duckburg resident who named Gladstone her only heir.
