Donald's doing a little tree surgery when he spots Chip 'n' Dale gathering nuts. He saws off the branch outside their hole and paints it with tar, which Dale gets stuck in. Then Donald has a little fun with the long-handled pruning shears.
A classic Disney Donald Duck short that packs a chain of gags and petty cruelties into a few minutes. The pace is quick, and the humor comes from Donald's short fuse and his back-and-forth with the two chipmunks. Almost nothing is said, so it runs on timing, expressions and slapstick.
Good for you if you like short, nearly wordless classic cartoons with slapstick and Donald's endless feuds.
