A Whistle in the Dark

A Whistle in the Dark is a 1974 comic story featuring Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Pluto, Emil Eagle, Flossie, Melissie, and the Sheriff of Cackleburg.
==Plot==
Mickey Mouse and Pluto are on their way to Cackleburg to pick up their friend, Goofy, who has been staying there to visit his cousin, Melissie. Almost immediately, they learn of a recent crime wave in the city as nearly all of the town's chickens, save Melissie's sick hen Flossie, have been stolen by Emil Eagle and two of his henchmen. After finding Emil's hideout, Mickey comes up with a plan to recover the chickens, a plan involving a certain whistle which only dogs can hear...
