Beach Picnic 1939

On a sunny beach, Donald Duck hums a cheerful tune as he prepares a picnic. After laying out the food, he attempts to ride an inflatable horse named Seabiscuit, but the bouncing mount tosses him off repeatedly, leaving him irritated yet amused.

Nearby, Pluto sleeps soundly on the shore, unaware of the mischief brewing. Donald decides to prank him by nudging Seabiscuit toward Pluto and mimicking a horse’s whinny. The mesmerized Pluto chases the inflatable horse around rocky reefs, but the horse’s bumps frighten him, sending him skittering away in fear.

In a sudden flare of anger, Pluto bites the rubber air valve, inflating the horse like a balloon. The horse deflates completely, and Pluto is launched through the air, crashing onto the shore.

The scene shifts to an ant who spots the picnic food and calls for the other ants to help themselves. The ants swarm toward the food and begin carrying it away, while Donald rants in frustration.

An ant secretly tries to carry off a piece of cake. Pluto noses at the trail as he follows, while Donald finishes setting up a flypaper trap. The ant wisely crawls under the trap, but Pluto gets the flypaper stuck on his nose. After a long struggle, Pluto flies backward and bumps into Donald, causing the flypaper to wrap around their bottoms.

Donald angrily rants as they struggle to free themselves, until Pluto, fed up with the racket, runs around in circles, knocking Donald into the flypaper and effectively mummifying them both in the sticky sheets. As the entangled pair writhe, Pluto moves in and ends the cartoon with a gentle lick.
