Plot summary:  

Scrooge first showed his greedy head in the pages of the old Disney comics from the fifties. He didn't appear in animated form until 1967, when he starred in the Disney short "Scrooge McDuck And Money," one of Disney's animated educational films wherein Scrooge teaches Huey, Dewey, and Louie about how to manage one's finances. The plan, simply put, is to convert all your funds to gold dabloons and keep them all in one giant location that has only one unguarded door and can be seen for miles in every direction.

Scrooge stayed dormant for the most part until 1983, when he landed the starring role in Mickey's Christmas Carol, a retelling of the old Dickens tale. It was only thirty minutes long or so, and was tacked onto the end of The Rescuers during it's original theatrical release, but he did well enough to work his way into his own series, Duck Tales, which debuted in 1987. Every day he and his nephews got into trouble whilst trying to increase his vast fortune, and protect it from evildoers like the Beagle Boys and Magica De Spell. The rest of the time, he traveled the world teaching children that it was both safe and fun to jump headfirst into large piles of metal currency. (more) 

User Comments: Would someone please explain to me why a guy who has more money than anyone in the history of history has to wear the same clothes every day? Are you telling me that he could buy and fund his own frickin' continent, but he can't get approved for a damned J.C. Penney's Card? Come on, the guy has the same business ethic (and accent I might add) as Mr. Crabs. And with the kind of funds he has at his disposal, don't you think he could be a little more discerning in regards to his hiring choices? Seriously, who the hell thought that Launchpad McQuack was a wise business decision? Methinks Scrooge took one too many dives into his money bin.
