The ducks, injured in a car wreck in Southern California, are transported by means of a mysterious dream to the California of 1848. While there they stay at the home of a wealthy Spanish rancher, take part in the gold rush, and help a young vaquero win the hand of a rancher's daughter.

Story submitted November 2, 1950. Comment: "The story is set in that section of Southern California which Barks himself lived at the time. However, few of the settings were taken from real life." Comment and synopsis by Michael Barrier from "Carl Barks and the Art of the Comic Book" (1982).
