Plot

Donald is bored with his job as a lighthouse keeper as he can't read his book while the light turns around, and when he notices a sleeping pelican out the window, he decides to wake him up by shining the light on him. The pelican gets fed up and invades the lighthouse, putting out the light. Donald and the pelican engage in a fast-paced duel for the rest of the night, turning the light on and off, even continuing after sunrise.
