Glomgold tries again to stop Scrooge from being declared the richest duck in the world, this time using a stolen submarine.
The episode "Catch as Cash Can 2: A Whale of a Bad Time" is a continuation of the first DuckTales episode, "Catch as Cash Can," and carries forward the theme of Scrooge McDuck's wealth and his adventures. In this sequel, Scrooge's obsession with accumulating money and treasure continues to create problems, but this time it involves a more literal and fantastical challenge.
In this episode, Scrooge McDuck, along with his nephews, faces a new set of challenges that stem from both his treasure hunts and his wealth. The title "A Whale of a Bad Time" refers to the conflict involving a giant whale and the chaos that ensues, but it also symbolizes the ever-growing trouble that comes with Scrooge’s endless pursuit of wealth.
"Catch as Cash Can 2: A Whale of a Bad Time" continues the exploration of Scrooge McDuck’s complex relationship with his wealth. While the episode is fun, full of action and humor, it subtly addresses the dangers of excessive greed and its consequences. The whale serves as both a literal obstacle and a metaphor for the overwhelming problems that come with hoarding wealth and not considering the broader impacts of one’s actions.

The themes of economic instability, greed, and wealth imbalance resonate throughout the episode, offering a fun yet meaningful exploration of how Scrooge's treasure hunts lead to unintended consequences. It reminds viewers—young and old alike—that unchecked greed can lead to far greater problems than the ones it seeks to solve.
