Crazy Over Daisy

Plot

Riding a penny-farthing bicycle through a 1890s town, Donald Duck hums the love tune "Daisy Mae" on his way to visit Daisy Duck. He waves to townsfolk, including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in an old vehicle, and Goofy as an iceman. Chip 'n' Dale find Donald's look and behavior amusing, so they begin to mock and pester him. Donald sends them up a tree, but they keep teasing him from a branch.

The situation worsens until the chipmunks fire a cannonball that destroys Donald's bicycle. Soaked from a fountain landing and furious, Donald catches the chipmunks and drags them into his workshop. There he quickly builds a new bicycle with wheels wide enough to serve as treadmills, trapping the chipmunks inside to power the bike. He rides this chipmunk-powered bicycle to Daisy's house.

Expecting a kiss hello, Donald instead receives a slap across the face. Sympathetic to the chipmunks forced into labor, Daisy takes them inside and harshly bids Donald farewell. Dale then emerges from the house to take the candy Donald brought as a gift. Embittered, Donald walks back home.
