01Plot

Donald and Goofy have been hired to display posters, or bills, for a no name soup company. While entering, they both gleefully sing "Whistle While You Work" from the then recently released Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Goofy attempts, unsuccessfully, to paste his bills onto a nearby windmill, while Donald battles with a local farmyard goat, who's intent on eating everything it can. The battle ensues into a chase between Donald and the goat, ultimately concluding with the goat headbutting Donald and Goofy perpetually around the windmill blades.
