A lighthearted slapstick comedy short where Donald Duck's escalating attempts to stop mischievous chipmunks from eating his apples devolve into absurd physical gags and cartoon mayhem.

Donald the apple farmer notices his apples have been nibbled on and catches Chip n' Dale in the act. In the ensuing battle, Donald uses a helicopter to spray them (but they have tiny gas masks). And then he brings in the really heavy artillery.
