Along with his three grandnephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Scrooge sets out to find the lost treasure of the Golden Suns, a legendary cache of riches hidden somewhere in the world.
Their first clue leads them to a remote island in the South Pacific, where they meet a group of friendly islanders who offer to help them in their quest. However, they are soon ambushed by a group of ruthless pirates who are also after the treasure.
With the help of his quick-thinking nephews and his loyal pilot, Launchpad McQuack, Scrooge manages to escape from the pirates and continue his search for the treasure. Along the way, they encounter a number of obstacles, including treacherous quicksand, deadly snakes, and a giant octopus.
Despite these challenges, Scrooge and his team persevere, finally arriving at the location of the Golden Suns. But just as they are about to claim their prize, they discover that the pirates have beaten them to it and are already loading their ship with the treasure.
Undaunted, Scrooge and his team hatch a clever plan to steal the treasure back from the pirates and escape with their lives. In the end, they emerge victorious, having not only found the Golden Suns but also outwitted their dangerous foes.
