Donald then irritably grabbed the two chipmunks and rushed back home till the scamps are caught and put to fitting hard-labour, powering a modified bicycle's wheels like hamsters in a wheel which that creating a new penny-farthing bicycle, but Chip n' Dale providing the power to make the bike move, which makes Donald happy and whistling again as he continues to Daisy's house.

Once at Daisy's, Daisy was appalled at Donald's behaviour and became enraged at Donald "being cruel" to two innocent chipmunks, called Donald a villain with cruelty to animals and went back into her house with the chipmunks. Donald then angrily protested, threw off his hat and stormed off down the street as the cartoon closes.

Song

The short introduced Daisy's theme song "Daisy Mae," and in later appearances, Donald can be heard whistling or quacking the tune, such as in Dude Duck, Out on a Limb and Chips Ahoy. The music was also reused for the song "Meet Me Down on Main Street" recorded by the Mellomen.

Lyrics

Daisy, Daisy you're the one that's got me captivated,

Every time you look at me I get so addlepated,

And when I'm driving along the street

Everybody that I meet

Says "there goes the guy

that's crazy over sweet Daisy Mae".
