Fritter O'Way

Fritter O'Way is a one-shot character from DuckTales. He is the primary antagonist of the episode "Down and Out in Duckburg".

Role in the episode
Fritter O'Way came busting into McDuck Manor and pushed Scrooge out of the chair he was sitting in. Then Fritter showed a contract signed by Scrooge's ancestor Seafoam McDuck. Fritter's ancestor, Diddle O'Way charged Seafoam with delivering a barrel of marbles to the Cape of No Hope. But the ship delivering the marbles ended up caught in a storm and sank beneath the waves. Because of the delivery disaster, Seafoam was held accountable for Diddle and owed all his possessions. Seafoam's possessions were lost at sea, except for a gold watch. When Diddle tried to grab the watch, Seafoam got away while Diddle was knocked off the dock by a load of cargo.

Fritter told Scrooge that he was responsible for Seafoam's debt (as he was Seafoam's only surviving relative) and demanded the gold watch. But Scrooge had used it to acquire the plane for the Klondike, where he had made his fortune. Rather than throwing everyone out, Fritter has everyone in the mansion work for him. Fritter spent the money left and right faster than Scrooge had made it redecorating the mansion. When Scrooge complained about it, Fritter sent him away.

Fritter later comes across Scrooge and company in Quack Maison. Once again, Fritter explains that what once belonged to Scrooge is now his. This apparently includes the private booth and the account. The maître d' makes Scrooge and company wash the dishes when they try to make a run for it.

Fritter is later seen throwing darts at a portrait of Scrooge when he overhears on the radio that Scrooge himself is off the Cape of No Hope. Fritter is overjoyed at first, but when he realizes that Scrooge is after the marbles, he decides to make sure the duck remains lost at sea. Fritter shows up in Scrooge's (redecorated) yacht with shotgun in hand and blasts a hole in the side of Captain Jack's already battered ship. Just as Fritter is mocking his foe, a rogue wave sweeps him off the deck of the yacht. Scrooge suggests that Fritter float on the barrel of marbles retrieved from Seafoam's sunken vessel, and although he is none too willing to do so, Fritter finally gives in. Before Fritter is hauled on board, Scrooge has him sign a delivery paper.

At the end of the episode, Fritter has been given the job of scraping the orange paint off of the mansion.
