Beach Picnic

Plot

Donald Duck sets up a beach picnic, cheerfully singing as he prepares his meal. He then attempts to ride an inflatable horse named Seabiscuit, but the horse repeatedly bucks him off, which frustrates him. Spotting Pluto asleep on the shore, Donald decides to play a trick: he pushes Seabiscuit close to Pluto and imitates a horse's whinny.

Pluto becomes fascinated and chases the rubber horse around some rocky reefs, but Seabiscuit keeps bumping him from behind, startling him. Angered, Pluto bites the horse's air valve, causing the horse to inflate like a balloon. When the horse deflates completely, Pluto is launched into the air and crashes onto the beach.

The focus then shifts to an ant that notices Donald's food. The ant summons other ants, and they swarm the picnic, carrying away the food. Donald angrily scolds the ants and spots some flypaper, deciding to use it as a trap. Meanwhile, an ant tries to sneak away with a piece of cake.

Pluto sees the ant and begins sniffing after it as it scurries off. While Pluto follows the ant, Donald finishes setting up his flypaper trap. The ant cleverly crawls underneath the trap, but Pluto ends up with the flypaper stuck to his nose. After a lengthy struggle, Pluto flies backward and collides with Donald, causing the flypaper to adhere to both their bottoms.

Donald angrily yells at Pluto as they try to free themselves. Fed up with Donald's ranting, Pluto runs in circles, flinging Donald into his own flypaper trap. Donald becomes completely wrapped in the flypapers, looking like a mummy. As Donald struggles in frustration, Pluto trots over and begins licking him, bringing the cartoon to a close.
