A lighthearted, whimsical cartoon short about Donald Duck's misadventures adopting and caring for a baby kangaroo, built entirely on slapstick humor and gentle domestic chaos.

For some reason, Donald adopts a baby. It turns out not to be a duck, but a kangaroo. Donald takes little Joey home and tries to make him take a bath, with the help of the friendly lady of the adoption bureau on the telephone telling him what to do. After the bath, Donald's baby is scared by the rug made of a bear.
