en	Ducks meet earthquake makers under Duckburg
fr	Inquiet des derniers tremblements de terre dans le monde, Picsou craint qu'une crevasse sous son coffre ne fasse disparaître toute sa fortune, alors il y envoie une équipe de terrassiers, mais ceux-là s'enfuient après avoir entendu des voix au bord d'un trou immense à quatre mille mètres de profondeur (by duckstories, history)
fr	Alors qu'elle perçait des galeries sous le coffre-fort de Picsou, l'équipe de mineurs prend la fuite. Les hommes ont entendu des bruits de voix à 5000 mètres sous la terre. Pour en avoir le cœur net, Picsou et ses neveux pénètrent dans les entrailles de la Terre. Ils découvrent, stupéfaits, deux peuples: les Cracs et les Badaboums. Ces petits êtres qui se roulent en boule organisent des concours où ils se projettent les uns sur les autres: ce sont eux qui provoquent les séismes.
