documents Scrooge's Alaskan prospecting days (1896 or thereabouts). Scrooge secures a loan from Soapy. Soapy, being a casino owner on land and water (he owns a casino boat), has plenty of money to lend. Of course, at a more than suitable interest rate (it was 10% at the turn of the century). But Soapy swindles Scrooge - the pocket of land Scrooge wants to pan on has already been identified as having no gold - and Soapy goes ahead and gives him the loan anyway. Soapy adds another 0 to the 10 and makes the interest on the loan 100% and then tries to collect on the loan in ''Uncle Scrooge'' #59. Luckily, Scrooge manages to produce the loan-paid receipt. Eventually, Scrooge goes to the Yukon and strikes gold in ''Uncle Scrooge'' #292. However, he is kidnapped by Soapy who ties Scrooge to the smokestack of the casino boat and taunts Scrooge by making fun of Scrooge's dead mother. Scrooge becomes enraged and tears the smokestack down, sinking Soapy's casino boat. EXTERNAL LINKS |
