* While searching for the cattle-rustling [=McViper=] brothers in the Montana Badlands, Scrooge and a young Teddy Roosevelt stumble upon two Indian hunters and asks them for help.
--> '''Indian''': Can't you smell them? They're in the second canyon over.
--> '''Other Indian''': And tell the tall one to wash his feet! Phew!
* How Scrooge manages to retrieve the stolen cattle from [=McViper=] brothers: he and Teddy tie one end of the lasso to one of the brothers, while the other end gets caught around a grizzly bear. As the grizzly chases the brother it's tied to (who desperately tries to get his sibling save him), they knock against a dinosaur fossil, and its skeleton falls onto a different cattle, who panics and runs after the Indians, who think it's an evil spirit. Teddy's reaction to all this sums up the absurd hilarity:

* Hortense mistakes a Beagle Boy for Franchise/TheLoneRanger. Keep in mind, aside from the masks, the two couldn't be more different; the Beagle Boys are fat, unshaven thieves, while the Ranger is a fit, clean-cut hero.



* Scrooge and his sisters arrive in Duckburg in an early motorcar, which is not only shaky and uncomfortable, it's also missing a few luxury add-ons such as ''brakes'', because Scrooge's aging eyes couldn't read the list of optional features. The car gives up the ghost halfway up the hill to Fort Duckburg, causing "Pa" Duck to rename it Killmotor Hill from it's original Killmule Hill.



* Gladstone Gander's mother Daphne, showing just who her inherited his luck from. She dodges Scrooge's runaway car and finds a ''diamond ring'' in one of the eggs she dropped.



** [[AttackAttackRetreatRetreat The Heroic Retreat Down Killmotor Hill!]]



* The first appearance of a (still young) Mrs Quackfaster. Scrooge is horrified that his sisters have splurged on such extravagance as a ''secretary!'' When they point out they hired an entire office staff to help properly manage Scrooge's growing empire, he outright faints from shock.
-->'''Scrooge''': How can I maintain a profit with such ''limitless extravaganze?!''




to:

** Scrooge's second encounter with Bombie The Zombie, which happens while he's offering to fund Robert Peary's expidition to the North Pole (so he can charge for the use of compasses). One of Peary's teammates had hired Bombie as a porter, apparently not noticing that he's an 8-foot, mute, dead-eyed abomination dressed in nothing but a long shirt.
* Scrooge stops by early-Revolution Russia during his European tour, where Tsar Nicholas is busy trying to get as much capital as he can before the Red Army comes for him by selling off his assetts. Scrooge buys some of his priceless Faberge eggs by the dozens, complete with egg cartons.
