Synopsis

Donald Duck is cooking pancakes in his kitchen, singing "Shortnin' Bread," when two chipmunks, Chip and Dale, get wind of the smell wafting through their home in the stovepipe. Chip and Dale attempt to steal Donald's pancakes;[3] Donald devises various ways to rid himself of the unwanted guests, including slipping Chip and Dale a pancake made of rubber cement instead,[1] but Chip and Dale eventually make off with all the pancakes, much to Donald's chagrin. The cartoon ends with Donald jammed in the stovepipe and Dale imitating him as the chipmunks celebrate their victory. [3]
