Plot
In the 1890s, Donald Duck is riding his penny-farthing bicycle, humming a love tune and on his way to Daisy Duck. He passes and waves to townspeople, including Mickey Mouse with Minnie Mouse driving an old vehicle and Goofy as Iceman. Chip 'n' Dale find Donald's look and mannerisms amusing, and proceed to mock and antagonize him. Donald initially shoos them up into a nearby tree, but they continue their mockery of him along a tree branch. The feud escalates until Chip 'n' Dale ultimately destroy Donald's bicycle with a cannon ball.Drenched from landing in a fountain and enraged at his destroyed bicycle, Donald chases and ultimately catches the chipmunks. He drags them into his workshop, where he hastily assembles a new bicycle. This new model includes wheels wide enough to serve as treadmills, in which he traps the chipmunks to power the bike. He rides his new chipmunk powered bike to Daisy's house.
Donald stands on Daisy's sidewalk expecting her to kiss him in greeting, but is instead met with a slap across his face. Daisy, sympathetic towards the chipmunks who had been pressed into slave labor, takes them into her home while bidding a harsh farewell to Donald. A final insult is dealt to Donald when Dale emerges from the house to take the candy Donald had brought as a gift. Embittered, Donald walks back home.
