[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After Fenton Crackshell wins a game show, he is invited to a snowy mountain for a vacation. Unfortunately, Scrooge McDuck doesn't allow him to go to the mountain. When Fenton gets a call from Gandra asking his presence at the mountain, he pretends to be sick in order to go without letting Scrooge know about it.

At the train station, Fenton and Gandra Dee board the train. When Fenton sees Scrooge on the train he quickly hides from him. In the train, Fenton eavesdrops on the girl from earlier as she is talking to the anonymous benefactor about their plans to steal Scrooge's gold. Fenton writes a message for Scrooge, and Scrooge reads "glob" instead of "gold". After Fenton writes another message, Scrooge reads it, and it says the word "GOID". When the train lands, Fenton and Gandra head to the airport along with Scrooge. When the two reach the hotel, Fenton also finds Scrooge in the Hotel and hides, causing Gandra to think that he is sick and suggest that he should rest.

After Fenton enters his room, he decides to call his mother in the Gizmoduck suit, but realized he forgot to make an answering machine for the suit. Fenton decides to investigate the factory to find the spy, and only to be discovered by Gandra. In the factory basement, Fenton confesses to Gandra what happened, and learned that the spies uses a mantis-like robot to steal Scrooge's gold, controlled by a watch. Fenton decided to confess Scrooge about everything.

In the trailer, Mrs. Crackshell decided to save Fenton by putting on the Gizmoduck suit. Meanwhile, the mantis-like robot begins it's rampage. When Mrs. Crackshell appears, the spies order the robot to destroy Crackshell. Fenton tells his mother that he cannot put the suit, because everybody is watching. After the robot is defeated, the spies attempt to escape, only to be stopped by Scrooge threatening them with a gun, that was later revealed to be his hidden hand.

After the spies were arrested and the gold was recovered, Mrs. Crackshell reminds Fenton to activate answering machine on the suit. Scrooge decided to give Fenton a vacation, only to find that Fenton was sick.
