Synopsis:
Donald and the nephews are hired by Scrooge to trace some papers left in a crashed airplane. Gladstone tags along for the reward...

Comments:
The primary characters wind up in the fictional state Hondorica which is possibly a contraction of Honduras and Costa Rica, both real nations in the area. WDCS248 The Terrible Tourist takes place in the same fictional state.

Synopsis:
Scrooge is hypnotized and learns that in a former life he was a Spanish captain who hid a treasure chest. He rushes off to find it...

Comments:
From the Caribbean Ocean the ducks are cast ashore on the South American mainland. It could be assumed to be somewhere on the coast of Venezuela.

 

BRITISH GUIANA
  FC0422 The Gilded Man - 1952

Synopsis:
Donald travels to British Guiana in order to trace down a valuable stamp and he finds it on an undelivered letter. But it has to be delivered first...

Comments:
Barks placed his ducks in British Guiana to enable them to meet El Dorado, the legendary figure of a gilded man. However, Barks was mistaken when assuming that the figure - which was said to be the leader of the Chibcha Indians - was from the modern British Guiana; the figure is supposed to come from Guiana, an enormous area which originally covered all of the northeast South America from coast to coast.

 

ECUADOR

Synopsis:
