Storyline

On the night he promised to take Daisy out, Donald Duck discovers he's broke. Desperate for spending money, he gets it in the last place he knows: his three nephews' piggy bank. After their night out, Daisy thanks the 'rich' big spender, which only makes Donald remember how penniless and remorseful he is. What ensues is Donald's guilt (and imagination) taking him on a nerve-wracking ride in the role of a wanted man.

"“Donald” is having a crisis of consciousness. He has an hot date all lined-up with “Daisy” but he hasn’t a cent to his name. Then he espies his nephews’ piggy bank and reckons there could be no harm in “borrowing” from it for the night! He has a swell time on the town but on his way home afterwards is wracked with guilt. He’s a criminal, a bank robber, an untrustworthy rogue who sees apprehension in everything from his own reflection to a cat raiding a bin to an humble streetlight! How to made amends? It’s got the crime doesn’t pay message writ large, but that’s amiably immersed in loads of daft scenarios as this duck’s imagination depicts all sorts of tortures that result from his wrongdoing! The animation is entertainingly fluid, with plenty of action and even a few more sinister touches as it whistles along for eight minutes of moral with mischief."
