en			Submarine trip to get a candy-like ruby in the South Seas
fi			Roope-setä matkaa Akun ja veljenpoikien kanssa sukellusveneellä trooppiselle saarelle, ostaakseen takaisin vuosia sitten saaren kuninkaalle myymäänsä juovikkaan rubiinin - kauppaa käydään piparminttumakeisilla, mutta kuinka kummassa salaperäinen laiva varjostaa ankkojen sukellusvenettä merten halki?
fr			Picsou, qui n'est pas accepté parmi l'élite car il n'est pas considéré comme assez important, apprend que le célèbre rubis à rayures lui donnerait le meilleur statut et il se rappelle qu'il est censé posséder cette pierre précieuse, ce qui intéresse beaucoup de gens (history)
