Too broke for a vacation, Donald declares his house to be a resort hotel with a free stay for one-in-ten guests. As his bad luck would have it, when there are no other takers, Uncle Scrooge claims the promised free and peaceful week's stay - making the ordeal anything but "free and peaceful" for Donald. Can Donald drive Scrooge out... or will Scrooge drive Donald crazy?

The Wishing Well · 4 pages
Having invented a real working wishing well for a customer, Gyro tests it by wishing himself to be in "a far-off tropical land" - and finds himself smack in the warring middle of a Latin American revolution.

The Pirates of Tabasco Bay [Chapter Two] · 8 pages
Taking the place of the mock pirates performing at the Tabasco Bay "Pirate Days Festival", Black Pete and his tramp-steamer crew plunder the town and its amused citizens and tourists. Only after Pete sails off with the loot do the victims realize the unfortunate truth. Meanwhile, Pete has Mickey and Goofy bound and gagged in the crow's nest of the restored pirate ship and has framed them as the leaders of the pirate gang. The pair try to make their escape, but not before the faux pirate ship, drifting in a dense fog, runs into Pete's tramp-steamer.
