In the stormy waters off Miserystan, Uncle Scrooge and the Beagle Boys vie for possession of "The Doom Diamond," a gem that carries a deadly curse (this is the last story Carl Barks both wrote and drew before his retirement; it appeared in Uncle Scrooge #70, July 1967). In our album's final story (written by Barks but drawn by Tony Strobl from Duck Man storyboard scripts for US #71, November '67) a Sumerian king, doomed to perpetual life, forces the ducks to relive an ancient war so they could lead the despot to a treasure that "King Scrooge the First" had concealed thirty-nine centuries earlier.
