Plot

Uncle Scrooge has been lost at sea, but is believed to be alive on some remote Pacific island. Donald and Gladstone each set sail to be the first to rescue their favorite uncle. Gladstone has all the luck and smooth sailing while Donald and the nephews have rough going. Scrooge is finally found on an island where he has the natives worshiping and waiting on him like an idol and king. He is running his business from the island because he doesn't want his relatives interfering. When Gladstone appears, Scrooge removes him from his will. He promises to leave his fortune to Donald because he has kept his distance. Donald sails home the winner.[3]
