* EurekaMoment: When the [=McDuck=] ancestors wonder how Scrooge can save himself from drowning in the moat, Scrooge laments at his life "not being worth a dime". This leads Quackley to realize that Scrooge ''can'' save himself, and sends him back to the living. While he doesn't remember being in FluffyCloudHeaven, Scrooge determines he can use his dime to unscrew his armor off.

!!Chapter 5: The New Laird of Castle [=McDuck=]
[[quoteright:306:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scrooge1885_8605.jpeg]]
'''Released:''' Denmark- ''March 1993'', United States- ''December 1994''\\
'''Dates:''' ''1885''
Scrooge arrives back in Dismal Downs just as his family is about to lose their land and castle if they don't pay the back taxes from falling behind in the payments (the clan has struggled to maintain ownership of the castle even if the [[ContinuityNod demon hound]] has made it too dangerous to live there). Scrooge's bank draft from the sale of his copper mine saves the castle, his destiny to become "the cheapest, stingiest, most miserly, turnip-squeezingest, penny-pinching tightwad on Earth" saves his life (the dead should ''not'' interfere in the land of the living), and the ghosts of Scrooge's ancestors save him when he is nearly killed in a duel with the Whiskervilles. No big deal. Now the [=McDucks=] can move back into the castle, and Scrooge can move on with making his fortune... this time, [[GoldFever in gold]].

!!This chapter provides examples of:
* ArmoredCoffins: When Scrooge falls into a pond with his armor, it becomes a weight pulling him to the bottom of the water and almost results in Scrooge dying.
* BackFromTheDead: Scrooge. The 18-year-old Scrooge drowns in the moat of the ancestral castle, and enters in the afterlife. But his ancestors resurrect him, giving him a chance to escape his watery grave, breath oxygen again, and win the duel.
* BadassBoast: Scrooge utterly dominates his duel with Argus, and brags about how his previous adventures taught him everything there is at asskicking.
* BecauseDestinySaysSo: First time Scrooge is pretty much prophesied to become [[ItWasHisSled The Richest Duck in the World]].
* BlindAlley: Argus tries to run away from his duel with Scrooge, and while pursued, turns around a corner and [[NobodyHereButUsStatues poses as an armor]] to escape Scrooge's wrath.
* BlindWithoutEm: Downplayed; After 4 chapters where Scrooge apparently had perfect vision, Scrooge now has to wear glasses to read. He predicts that his work will force him to wear them at all time.
* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Scrooge with the ancestral armors of the family for his duel with Argus.
* BroomstickQuarterstaff: Hortense chases off three Whiskervilles out of her castle with a broom.
* CasualDangerDialogue: Hortense [=McDuck=] as she is chasing off the Whiskervilles.
* ChekhovsGun: Averted; Scrooge mentions a cream cheese sandwich early in the story, but it doesn't serve anything. However Scrooge's number 1 dime does save him from drowning.
* CorruptCop: The sheriff Wenton Whiskerville tries to steal 10,000 from the [=McDuck=] and then to murder Scrooge. But seeing the ghosts of the [=McDucks=] frightens him away.
* DeathByGluttony: Sir Roast ate himself to death after raiding William the Lion's pantry.
* DramaticThunder: When Scrooge reappears in front of Argus, thunder and lightning accompany his return to make him look badass. Since Argus thought Scrooge dead, seeing him return was already intimidating.
* DuelToTheDeath: Argus Whiskerville challenges Scrooge to a duel because of the humiliation of having been frightened by a fake ghost, engineered by the latter. Thus both don armor and take up their swords and battle.
* FluffyCloudHeaven: The [=McDuck=] clan's dead ancestors seem to all reside in it. They also play golf in here.
* TheGlovesComeOff: When Scrooge goes on his RoaringRampageOfRevenge, he monologues about cutting himself loose and trash-talks the animals of the savanna he fights his way through.
* GloveSlap: One of the Whiskervilles challenges young Scrooge to a duel with a metal glove, appropriated from a suit of armor. Poor Scrooge is seeing CirclingStars after that one, but he recovers pretty quickly.
* HarmlessElectrocution: Scrooge, in a moment of idiocy, points his sword upward in the middle of a storm, and gets hit by lightning. He comes out rather unharmed.
* HauntedCastle: The [=McDuck=] castle.
* ImpactSilhouette: When the Whiskerville are frightened away by the many ghosts of the [=McDuck=] clan, they crash through a door and leave their silhouette on the door, which is several inches thick of hard wood.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Or rather, to everything ''but'' that last one. Fergus and Scrooge are very upset to be called "liars" and "cowards," but they don't mind "tightwads."
* ItRunsInTheFamily: Scrooge confronts some of his ancestors, and avarice seems to be also an ancestral trait.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Seeing a ghost whitened the Whiskervilles' hair. Seeing the ghost of all the ancestors renders them bald.
* NearDeathExperience: Scrooge seemingly dies, and is sent to Heaven. Quackly [=McDuck=] is appalled that such a promising young lad would die like this and works to send him back.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Sir Quackley tries to help Scrooge by handing him his sword, which gets the living [=McDuck=] struck by lightning. In fact, the other [=McDuck=] ancestors determine that if Quackley hadn't interfered, the lightning would have distracted Whiskerville, allowing Scrooge to win the duel anyway.
* TheNoseKnows: Scrooge learned from his meeting with Indians and tracks Argus by his scent.
* NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay: When the Whiskervilles plan on down right murdering Scrooge for getting the best of them, the ghosts of Scrooge's ancestors appears on the walls around them to scare them off for good.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The ancestors are very judgemental toward Scrooge, mentioning his every failure, including future ones. Quackly however, retorts back with all the ancestors' own shortcomings. For example, the brave Eider [=McDuck=], who died while fighting alone in battle, is revealed to have actually doomed himself. He underpaid his soldiers and made budget cuts to their equipment, to the point that everyone abandoned him.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Quackly was supposed to not interfere with the living, but restoring the glory of the [=McDuck=] Clan was more important to him.
* ShoutOut: Scrooge's ending line "There's always another rainbow!" refers to Barks' oil painting ''[[http://www.carlbarks.ws/images/armini/alwaysanotherrainbow.html Always Another Rainbow]]'' of Scrooge as a gold digger (which is the prospect Scrooge decides to pursue next).
* StayInTheKitchen: Fergus [=McDuck=] tells his brother to take "the women" home for their safety... including Hortense, who was shown to be their best fighter one page ago.
