Scrooge McDuck walks around Duckburg enjoying the admiration of the Duckburgians for being the Money Champion of the world until a stranger shows up and hits him with a glove.
Donald Duck and his nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, then recalls how Scrooge won that time.
Scrooge and Flintheart start bragging about how wealthier they got since the last confrontation and lose temper, causing the judge to give each of them a five-gold-mine fine.
After that, Scrooge allows Flintheart to visit The Money Bin hoping it would make the challenger give up.
Back to Duckburg, Flintheart arranged it so they could place their money piles in the airport's abandoned landing gear.
Flintheart is thinking about his mother, whose hopes he betrayed when he became dishonest when the sorcerer shows up trying to sell him the potion.
Glomgold then tried to throw the squeeze bottles and break them on Scrooge's pile, but Huey, Dewey, and Louie stopped them with homing rockets.
Despite this, Flintheart gains a moral victory: because Scrooge's hat was hit by the potion, it is small enough to be eaten in one bite.
He writes, "While the original challenge in "Second-Richest Duck" was less about skullduggery and more about two old coots facing the elements, Glomgold has now developed a truly vindictive streak.
