Donald reads a newspaper that the eggs' value is really high and the price amount is increased; he thinks that he could get rich, so he goes into the hen-house and changes the music from the record player. While the hens are dancing and popping their eggs out, Donald collects them and puts them into a huge basket.
Unfortunately, a rooster standing guard reveals Donald and kicks him out. Donald is trying to avoid the rooster, so he disguises himself as a hen. He is mistaken for the rooster's love interest. They dance together, but unfortunately, Donald's disguise falls off. With the rubber glove comb constantly coming loose and a caterpillar falling down the back of his suit, Donald is ever at the risk of being discovered.
The Film Daily called the short a "funny cartoon", saying, "Donald runs afoul of the rooster, boss of the barnyard, and is a sadder and wiser man before the rooster finishes with him."[2]
The short was released on May 18, 2004, on Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Volume One: 1934-1941.[3]
