Seal,” “Mr. Mouse Takes A Trip,” “Moose Hunters,” “Mickey’s Parrot,” “The Pointer,” “Magician

duck, Donald! This volume features the hilarious shorts “Canvas Back Duck,” “Donald’s Cousin
Gus,” “Daddy Duck,” “Window Cleaners,” “Self Control,” “Contrary Condor,” and “Donald’s Golf Game.”
Mickey takes a bubble bath, not knowing that a fun-loving seal has taken up residence in the
bathtub. After a comical episode in the tub, Mickey gets the seal back to the zoo, but when he
returns home, he finds his bathtub is full of seals.
Mickey takes a vacation by train, but Pete, the conductor, won’t let Pluto ride the train. Mickey
has to do some fancy disguise work to take Pluto with him.
Mickey, Donald and Goofy go hunting for moose. Donald and Goofy get the bright idea of
dressing up as a female moose to nab their prey. The plan hilariously backfires and soon all
three big-game hunters are running for their lives.
Mickey and Pluto overhear a radio broadcast about an escaped, dangerous criminal. When the
two hear a voice that they think belongs to the criminal, they get more and more nervous. The
voice turns out to be Mickey’s pet parrot, to the relief of everyone.
Mickey tries to train Pluto to be a hunting dog when they go looking for quail. Instead, they run
into a very large bear, and soon they’re on the run themselves. Instead of quail, Mickey and
Pluto settle for a can of beans.
Donald tries to heckle Mickey during a magic act, but his antics backfire. Not giving up, Donald
finds a way to stir the audience up before the final curtain.
Captain Mickey issues orders to shipmates Donald and Goofy to respond to an SOS. Donald
and Goofy find a way to comically bungle the rescue operation, of course. Eventually they sink
their own ship - just in time to find out that the “SOS” was really a radio show.
Mickey, sporting a Davy Crockett-style raccoon hat, goes hunting with Pluto. When they corner
a potential hunting target, the wily animal convinces Mickey that his raccoon hat is really its
baby. Mickey and Pluto apologize and leave quietly, as the ‘baby’ waves goodbye.

At a carnival, Donald takes tests of strength in order to impress his nephews. When a scrawny
kid challenges Donald to beat his dad, Donald immediately agrees. Then he sees the dad, a
hulking Peewee Pete. Donald reluctantly steps into the ring, but finds a funny way to win the
match.
Donald’s goose cousin, Gus, comes to visit and practically eats Donald out of house and home.
A frustrated Donald tries everything he can think of to get rid of his over-eating relative.
Donald gets stuck taking care of a kangaroo. When he teaches the kangaroo not to be afraid of
a bear rug, Donald proceeds to get swallowed by the bear and must be rescued by the
kangaroo.
Donald and Pluto comically mishandle washing the windows of a very tall building. When
Donald goads a high-flying bee, the job goes from bad to hysterically awful.
Donald tries to get his legendary temper under control through the advice of a radio therapist
named Uncle Smiley. Donald tries to take a soothing rest to relax, but a woodpecker, an
uncooperative hammock and more obstacles make sure that Donald stays as quick-tempered
as ever.
Donald, climbing in the Andes, finds a condor nest and pockets an egg. The mother condor
returns and thinks Donald is one of her own. She tries to teach him how to fly, with uproariously
disastrous results. To straighten things out, Donald returns the egg.
Donald shows off his golf game to his nephews, but his nephews are more interested in making
Donald look bad. Trick clubs and a grasshopper inside a golf ball are only some of the funny
ways that the nephews sabotage Donald’s game.
