Scrooge in the orient

Dear all

I could not find a comic about Scrooge and his 
nephews in the orient. It was about Scrooge who 
bought a "knick-knack" from a thief (Yu Foo) who 
stole it from his cousin (Hum Chum). The object 
turned out to be a key to a treasure, 
ultra-strong silk from a special species of 
silkworms. It was an English comic, but I forgot 
which publisher published it. Can anyone help me locate it?
