[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Uncle Scrooge takes Donald Duck and his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie on an expedition to find the Philosopher's Stone, a mythical artifact that would turn common metals into gold. The stone is eventually found, and works. But it has some rather unpleasant side effects...

Scrooge is eventually forced to give up the stone and gives it to Monsieur Mattressface of The International Money Council.

Don Rosa later wrote two sequels to this story which include The Crown of the Crusader Kings and A Letter From Home/The Old Castle's Other Secret.
