A lighthearted Halloween cartoon where a mischievous Donald Duck gets comeuppance from a magical witch who sides with his nephews, built entirely on sight gags and playful reversals.

When the nephews come to Donald's house in their Halloween costumes he dumps water on them and laughs at his trick. A witch sees this and decides to help the kids. By magic she gives Donald a bad time and the kids finally get their treats.
