Spoilers ahead
Goofy [Pinto Colvig] is seen in a crowded office, his eyes already drifting to a daydream of paid freedom. He envisions a grand, multi-stop vacation: fishing at Fond du Lac, sunrise in the Rockies, basking on the beach, dude ranching, golfing, boating, and hunting in the North Woods. The moment the clock strikes noon, he bolts from the office to his red car and takes to the highway, launching into a string of travel misadventures that come with a sly, sardonic narration from the film’s running commentator, the narrator [Alan Reed].
