A lighthearted, slapstick-driven animated short where Donald and Goofy's misadventures in Antarctica prioritize physical comedy and absurd disguises over any real peril.

Donald and Goofy are trappers in the frozen south (Antarctica) with different approaches. Donald sees a penguin and dresses as one to lure her to the chopping block; Goofy baits a trap with fish (then acts like a walrus to capture one that steals his bait bucket).
