Plot

edit

As Donald Duck is clearing snow from his house's walkway, he notices that chipmunks Chip 'n' Dale are busy clearing the snow off their branch. He yanks the branch down to the ground, fooling the chipmunks into clearing his path as well into a hydrant, and then walks into his house, laughing as the chipmunks realize the trick. Annoyed and angered, the chipmunks plan to teach him a lesson, and approach the house where they discover that Donald's trying to pop some popcorn which they plan to get steal and eat. While he goes out to collect some firewood, the chipmunks enter the house and try to eat the uncooked popcorn. They aren't able to chew it, and a frustrated Chip kicks some bits of corn into the fireplace, which pops. Donald returns and pops a bowl of popcorn with Chip & Dale inside, but they find a way to steal his bowl. The duck enters a fierce battle with the chipmunks for possession of the popcorn, including swapping its location, and a game of catch, which ends with Donald trying to burn down Chip and Dale's tree. The duo pretend to surrender before seizing the box of popcorn, and pouring the entire box on the fire, causing a massive shower of popcorn to cover Donald's house. Concluding the short, a disgruntled Donald ends up having to clear popcorn out of his walkway.
