Truant Officer Donald tries to catch his school-skipping nephews using radar, a periscope, and other surveillance devices. The story was based on an animated short of the same name released in August 1941. Barks worked on the short with others. In the animated short, the boys elude their uncle and win. In the comic book story, the moral right is asserted: Donald catches the boys and takes them to school to write 'Crime does not pay' on the classroom blackboard.[2]
