Plot
Donald Duck's imagination, enhanced by scary stories on the radio and in books, moves him into a seemingly real crime world, which ultimately turns out to be imaginary. Donald's dream is enhanced by the backgrounds that abruptly change each time a new character appears in it.
Scenes where Donald is threatened with a knife and the detective is threatened with an axe were at one time cut,[3] but have been restored for the VHS Release and DVD release.
The cartoon is perhaps the closest Disney ever got to the fast-paced and surreal nature that reminiscent of Tex Avery, and specifically references his Who Killed Who? (1943) in two ways: the use of an organ instead of a traditional orchestral score, and having Billy Bletcher voice the detective.
