In the 44-page epic "The Great Painting Robbery," Scrooge reluctantly agrees to loan several rare Picassos to a gallery in Spain. The loan involves transporting the canvases by ship, where they journey together with an even rarer Picasso from a London archive. Alas, the London Picasso is hijacked in Barcelona...and after a baldfaced accusation by detective Jacques Clueless, the onus is on Scrooge to recover it! Next up, Gyro Gearloose "Builds a Better House" in a Carl Barks classic, reprinted for the first time in regular comics since 1967. And then "Tutu Traumatic" tells of how the Beagle Boys pulled a heist and Scrooge foiled it...with all parties embarrassingly costumed as ballerinas!
