Tales from the Quarter Bin---Ducks Vs. Giant Robots

Uh-oh...the Beagle Boys have hijacked some giant robots and are using them to pillage Uncle Scrooge's money bin and all of Duckburg. What do you do?

Answer: cook up a nice batch of prunes!!

Just as Superman has his kryptonite, Green Lantern had his yellow, and Maxwell Lord his weak, weak neck, it turns out one of the Beagle Boys (176-167, to be precise), has a fatal weakness.

Now of course, you may be saying to yourself, since the Beagle Boys were now billionaires, and all-powerful Lords of Duckburg, couldn't he just get his own damn prunes later? Why risk everything they've gained for some instant gratification?

Well, that's where the genius of Huey's (Dewey's? Louie's??) plan comes in:
these are cooked prunes!! By wafting the irresistable scent of cooking prunes towards the giant robot, Huey is able to entice the master criminal out of his robot. Once out, Scrooge ambushes him, takes over his robot, and starts to bash the other stolen robots! Like the sirens to Odysseus' crew, like money to Scrooge McDuck, this Beagle Boy simply cannot resist the smell of his favorite dish. That's why he became a criminal--no self-control!

So if there is a lesson in this for any aspiring crimefighters out there, it's this: prunes are a cop's best friend. Oh, a do a better job of securing your giant robots.

Special update note:

Wikipedia tells me that it is indeed Huey, because of the red cap. See, you learn something new every time, in:
