"The Prisoner of White Agony Creek" is a Scrooge McDuck comic by Don Rosa. The story takes place between "King of the Klondike" and "Hearts of the Yukon" in the series The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck making it part 8B. The story shows how Goldie O'Gilt was taken to White Agony Creek. As Don Rosa announced his retirement in June 2008, this is his final story.

Plot

The story takes place in the Klondike Gold Rush and features Scrooge McDuck, who abducts Goldie O'Gilt and takes her to White Agony Creek, where she is forced to dig for gold. Meanwhile Soapy Slick sends three famous lawmen, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, and Judge Roy Bean, to rescue Goldie from Scrooge but it seems she doesn't want to be rescued — at least not until after she steals Scrooge's gold nugget. Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid are also involved in this caper; they kidnap Goldie and steal Scrooge's nugget. But Scrooge eventually rescues Goldie and gets his nugget back. After that he and Goldie start to get along better near the end of the story.
