Plot
Donald Duck adopted a penguin called Tootsie. At first, he is fond of her, but when Donald thought she ate his three goldfish, he became angry and spanked Tootsie before he spotted the mistake, and Tootsie isn't willing to forgive him, even when Donald took off his hat and said "let bygones be bygones", he then decided to fed Tootsie a catfish from the refrigerator to make amends for his mistake, only to found that Tootsie hid inside the fish tank and ate three goldfish. Enraged, Donald chased her through the house and pointed his double-barreled shotgun at the frightened Tootsie, threatened to kill her, until his conscience startled and reminded him. Slowly, he settled down the gun, but his gun fell down suddenly and shot the fire, with Tootsie nowhere in sight. Terrified, Donald frantically looked for Tootsie from the pile of breaking bricks, and Tootsie herself suddenly revealed from behind the closet and Donald hugged her, full of joy, he then looked at the camera and smiled.
