DuckTales (2017) season 4 episode 10, titled "GlomTales!", revolves around the Glomgold Industries, who have taken over McDuck Enterprises. As the episode begins, we see Scrooge, who is devastated by this takeover, contemplating his next move. While in the background, the new management is trying to implement a modern business model, which is not sitting well with Scrooge.
Meanwhile, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, along with Webby, learn about a new invention by Professor Ludwig Von Drake, known as the "Marty-matter hypercube." The hypercube, as it turns out, has the ability to store and transport objects, and it works by breaking them down into tiny particles and reassembling them at the desired location. The four decide to use the hypercube to steal back McDuck Enterprises from Glomgold.
Their plan, however, goes awry when they accidently capture Glomgold Industries instead of McDuck Enterprises. When they open the hypercube, they find themselves in the middle of a jungle, with Glomgold Industries nowhere in sight. As they navigate through the jungle, they come across various obstacles, including dangerous animals, treacherous terrain, and unexpected allies.
Meanwhile, back at McDuck Enterprises, Scrooge is trying his level best to stay relevant in this new era of modern business. To do so, he decides to launch a new product line known as "Scrooge's Lucky Coin." The idea behind these coins is that they bring good fortune to those who possess them. However, his plans are foiled when he realizes that Glomgold Industries have already launched a similar product line, which includes "Glomgold's Lucky Coin."
As the episode progresses, the two parties (Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby vs. Glomgold Industries) become involved in a race to find the missing hypercube, with both parties having their own plans for its usage. This leads to a series of comical and adventurous situations, as the characters fight to outdo each other.
In the end, the two groups come face to face in an epic showdown, where the fate of the hypercube and subsequently McDuck Enterprises lies in the balance. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, with the viewers left wondering about the outcome of this intense battle and what it means for Scrooge and his family.
Overall, "GlomTales!" is a thrilling and entertaining episode, with plenty of action, humor, and heart. It showcases the strengths of the characters, their ability to adapt, and the importance of family in difficult times. It also serves as a reminder of the age-old saying, "there's no gain without pain," and how sometimes one needs to go on a wild adventure to achieve their goals.
