!!Chapter 6: The Terror of the Transvaal
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scrooge1887_8339.jpeg]]
'''Released:''' Denmark- ''May 1993'', United States- ''February 1995''\\
'''Dates:''' ''1887-1889''
Scrooge's first attempt at gold prospecting takes him to South Africa, where he meets a Boer also on his way to the Johannesburg goldfields who offers to be his guide. Scrooge awakens the next morning to find his new "friend" has vanished, stolen his supplies, and left him to perish out on the rand. Furious at being double-crossed, he makes his way to civilization in his typical badass fashion, finds the scoundrel, vents his anger in a HumiliationConga, and throws him in jail. He doesn't strike it rich in the low-grade Transvaal soil and eventually packs up and leaves with the vow never to trust anybody again, thanks to a lesson from his least noble enemy yet, whatever-his-name-was [[note]]Flintheart Glomgold[[/note]].

A few decades later, Scrooge no longer trusts anyone, including his own sisters and loyal employees (suspecting them of embezzlement for no obvious reason, other than his own paranoia). By the time Scrooge and Flintheart meet again (in 1956), they have become nearly identical in thought process.

* WeWillMeetAgain: The nameless thief (a younger Flintheart Glomgold) swears that he will get back at Scrooge for his HumiliationConga one day.
* {{Woolseyism}}: In the original, the thief calls himself a Boer (Dutch-South-African), which Scrooge mistakes as him calling himself a ''bore''. In the Norwegian translation, Scrooge's answer is "Oh? Well, we all have to live somewhere", since "Bo" in Norwegian means Inhabit or Live (...in a place).
