, Carl Barks The secret of Ali Baba's hidden treasure, the return of Magica de Spell - and a rare story never before seen in the U.S.! "You can't depend on anything in Persia being what it seems!" warns Uncle Scrooge. But when he, Donald, and the nephews are approached by a wayward archaeologist bearing fragile clay tablets that point the way to Ali Baba's lost cave, the hunt is on for the most fabulous treasure of the ancient world! And Scrooge will soon discover how true his words really are!
