Duckburgian Donald Duck, third assistant janitor at the Museum of Natural Science, has made an astonishing discovery by mistake.

The hastily assembled participants are the renowned Professor Artefact McArchives and three museum janitors including Mr. Duck. We shall anxiously await their triumphant return.
