Plot
The story takes place in the Klondike Gold Rush and features Scrooge McDuck, who abducts Goldie O'Gilt and takes her to White Agony Creek, where she is forced to dig for gold. Meanwhile Soapy Slick sends three famous lawmen, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Judge Roy Bean, to rescue Goldie from Scrooge but it seems she doesn't want to be rescued — at least not until after she steals Scrooge's gold nugget. Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid are also involved in this caper; they kidnap Goldie and steal Scrooge's nugget. But Scrooge eventually rescues Goldie and gets his nugget back. After that he and Goldie start to get along better near the end of the story.
