Well, there is an Italian story, which in Greece was published titled
"The Trojan War". It was a kind of parody of the Trojan war, taking place
in modern times. It was about the Beagle Boys stealing from Scrooge
a magical checkboard that could double anything you put on the first
square, then double it, then double, it, etc, until you reached the
last square. The ducks came after them, with Donald thinking that the
Beagles had actually kidnapped Daisy. (This is based on some Italian
word-play that sounded quite stretched when translated into Greek,
and would probably make no sense when translated into English.)
