The title character of this, Donald's first short, seeks someone to help her plant and harvest her corn. After Peter Pig refuses, she approaches Donald Duck. Donald dances over, but at her request, he declines, citing a bellyache. The hen plants her corn all by herself, with some help from little chicks. When she's all done harvesting, the hen offers not some of the bounty of corn foods, but some bellyache relief instead.

This is one of the first times we see Donald's rage, as he quarrels with a leaky pipe. Meanwhile, Pluto ingests one of Donald's magnets and suddenly finds his attraction to his bone plate a mutual one. Soon, every metal object presents a challenge both for Pluto and Donald, who's just trying to get his work done.

This one marks the first appearance of Donald's love interest, later known as Daisy Duck. Donald's laughter gets him in trouble with Daisy. Donald trades his burro in for a car, and he's quickly joined by the female duck. The two go on a joy ride through the desert, but the burro gets the last laugh when the car goes kaput.

Donald goes to a Modern Inventions museum and wreaks havoc with every display. One running gag has a robot taking every new hat that Donald produces. Every technologically-minded device misfires, culminating with Donald getting his face polished and his bottom trimmed and combed.

At the Wahoo Train Station, Donald discovers a box, with a large ostrich named Hortense inside. The ostrich just wants to smooch Donald. Then while Donald gets back to cleaning the station, Hortense gets into mischief with an accordion, balloons, and hiccups. Then the ostrich swallows a radio!

Donald listens to a radio program about ways to prevent your temper from getting out of hand. While he tries to nap in his hammock, Donald endures various attempts to get him riled. The "count to 10" method only helps so much.

Donald is accompanied by both an angel and a devil. The former encourages Donald to go to school, while the latter preaches that he ought to go fishing and smoke. Smoking doesn't agree with Donald. The devil Donald, laughing, goes fisticuffs with the angel duck, who puts up more of a fight than expected. The moral lesson here seems to be a first for a Donald short, but it is done in a way unique to his character. (Animation from this short was reused in the short "Donald's Decision" from Walt Disney on the Front Lines.)

Donald's trio of rambunctious nephews are introduced in this short: Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Donald's efforts to calm the boys by the book mostly fail. Each time, he winds up getting physically hurt. This is one of the more entertaining pieces. It's interesting how little the basic relationship of Donald and his nephews has changed in over sixty years, comparing this short to their segment together in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas.

Donald and Goofy team up as they seek to trap arctic creatures alive. Donald struggles with a penguin, while Goofy's after a walrus.

Donald goes camping with his nephews at the Yellowstone National Park. As Donald tries to instill good scouting skills to the boys, one mishap after another occurs. A petrified tree, a hungry bear, and Old Faithful Geyser all bring Donald grief, and when Huey, Dewey, and Louie try to help, things just get worse.

As in "Polar Trappers", Donald and Goofy again team up to catch animals. This time it's foxes they're after, and as ineptly as ever. Goofy manages a group of horses, while Donald is in charge of pack of hound dogs, neither to any avail.

Donald's efforts for a peaceful game of golf are destroyed. First he can't get the silence needed to swing. Then his caddies (Huey, Dewey, and Louie) get him with some goofy clubs and a golf ball that won't stay still.

This short opens like no other Donald cartoon before. We see silhouettes of gangsters plotting to deliver a bomb at exactly midnight. We soon find out who their messenger boy is: Donald! En route, Donald hears a radio announcer warning him not to do anything unlucky on account of it being Friday the 13th. Nonetheless, Donald rides under a ladder, shatters a mirror, and has a black cat walk in his path. It is the black cat whom Donald see-saws with to save his life. It's one of the more entertaining and more unusual Donald shorts.

Donald tells his nephews that he was once a mighty duck hockey champion. He proceeds to give them a dazzling demonstration of his skills. When the three boys mess up his blindfolded demonstration, it's Donald vs. his nephews for possession of the puck.

Donald's cousin Gus Goose visits one night at dinnertime. Contrary to Aunt Fanny's letter, Gus does eat much. He consumes food with an unrivaled speed and a musical quality. He would have to, to carry an entire short, and he does. It's easy to appreciate Gus's antics as he eats all the food before Donald can get a bite. Donald just can't get rid of his cousin, even with a barking hot dog.

At the beach, Donald has some fun with Seabiscuit, his sea horse floatation device. Pluto is scared by the floating sea horse. Then a tribe of colorful Indian ants take over all of Donald's food. Pluto grapples with fly paper.

Donald and his nephews go sailing. As usual, things go awry, and Donald struggles to keep the ship ashore. He gets additional encouragment when a lime-colored shark threatens to eat him.

Donald gets a package from the South Pole and inside, on ice, is a little penguin. Donald suspects that he eats the fish out of the fish tank, and he spanks him. But Donald was mistaken, and he tries to make it up to the penguin. But the penguin gives Donald reason to let loose his temper, and this is where the gunplay ensues.

Donald is in Hollywood, seeking autographs from famous celebrities. He sneaks into the set hitching a ride with Greta Garbo. Then he discovers the Holy Grail: Mickey Rooney's dressing room! The Mickster signs Donald's book and give him some free tormenting, as well! Then Donald comes across Sonja Henie, who skates her name into the ice. Donald turns red when Shirley Temple recognizes him. When word gets out that Donald is on set, all the stars in Hollywood stop what they're doing to get the Duck's autograph.

When we run into Donald as Officer Duck, he's sleeping on the job. He's startled by a report to pick up Tiny Tom, dead or alive. Naturally, Tiny Tom's name is misleading; it's big Pete who hates "coppers." To arrest Tiny Tom, Donald disguises himself as a baby, with very amusing results.

Donald is walking along and singing "Heigh Ho" when he sees a sign: "Riveter Wanted." He inquires about the job, and Pete, after laughing him off, hires the duck. Donald suddenly finds himself at the very top of a construction site, clinging for life on a high beam. Wacky antics between the cigar-smoking boss and the clumsy duck ensue.

Donald builds a modern dog washer, but when he tries to get Pluto to use it, the dog will have none of it. Donald's efforts to persuade Pluto with a bone on a string and with a kitten puppet are both feeble. Donald's the only one who winds up getting a bath.

Donald and Goofy reunite, and this time they're putting up advertisement posters. A windmill proves to be an obstacle for Goofy, while a hungry goat quickly undoes Donald's work. Both workers soon find themselves in sticky situations.

Donald gets ready to spend time with Daisy, but his nephews get in the way. He gives them money to get ice cream, but they're right back. When Donald and Daisy try to dance, they keep cutting in. Things get wackier when the triplets turn Donald into a dancing popcorn machine!

While Pluto untangles himself from a coil, Donald duels with a boat engine.

Agitation seems to be the theme of many things for Donald, and his vacation is no different. Waterfalls, folding chairs, fruit-rolling chipmunks and a big brown bear all create discord for the duck.

This entertaining short has Donald cleaning the windows of a high-rise building. He has fun with the job, and when he doesn't, the audience has fun with the short. We see Donald try to communicate all the way down to ground-level Pluto and bout with a bumblebee.

Donald attempts to run a quality fire department with his crew: his three nephews. As you can surely imagine, everything that can go wrong does. Here, the gags are just a little bit sharper, elevating this short above other Donald cartoons.

In an amusing dialogue-less scene near the beginning of this short, Donald reaches into a window where he spots some irresistible food. The man of the house happens to be Pete, and he reasonably gives Donald a chance to work for the food he's stolen. Donald tries every conceivable way to get out of the physical labor, but Pete is especially intimidating and unusually deranged as his nemesis.

Upon reading that the price of eggs has drastically risen, Donald goes out to a barn to watch his riches grow. But a rooster won't let him get his hands on the 'golden' eggs. Donald's plan to sneak in and get the eggs involves dressing up as a hen. The rooster really takes a liking to Donald in poultry drag.

Donald walks around a penny arcade, and settles on "Dance of the Seven Veils", which he watches Daisy perform in a slideshow. The penny arcade cheats Donald, as does the claw machine, and an aviation machine.

Donald tries to get to sleep early, but everything seems to be in the way of that. Especially disruptive is Donald's alarm clock, with which he goes to war in the name of rest. If that isn't enough, he's also got to do battle with a springy bed.

While Huey, Dewey, and Louie go for a swim, Truant Officer 13, a.k.a. their uncle Donald watches and takes action. But as usual, the nephews outwit the hot-tempered Donald. He tries to get them out of their secret Pirates den back on the straight and narrow path. Donald tries to smoke the evildoers out of their cave.

This lighthearted farm short has Donald feeding the barnyard animals and milking a cow. When a bee gets Donald's rage going, the duck makes use of the cow's udders.

Donald sees a sign and vows to shoot animals with a camera and not a gun. But out in the wild, he doesn't have much luck getting any good photographs. A cranky woodpecker proves especially formidable to Donald's efforts. When photography fails him, Donald runs to bear arms.

Donald follows a radio program's recipe to make waffles. As usual, though, something goes wrong. First, the mix won't separate, and then it takes on a life of its own. At what cost, waffles?!

In this amusing 1940 short, Donald goes from doorstep to doorstep looking for donations. Each door slams on him, and his efforts are in vein. It's not introduced, so it's not clear why it's included like this, or what exactly it is. But it's a nice bonus, and one in which we get to see Donald sing "Heigh-Ho."
