What happens

Donald and Pluto is a 1936 animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by United Artists. The film stars Donald Duck, employed as a plumber, and Mickey's dog Pluto as his assistant. The film was directed by Ben Sharpsteen and featured the voice of Clarence Nash as Donald. Donald and Pluto is one of the three installments of the Mickey Mouse series in which Mickey doesn't appear as a character, the others are 1937's Don Donald and Modern Inventions. The cartoon also introduced Fred Spencer's new design for Donald Duck, which included a slimmer body, shorter neck, rounder feet, and a shorter beak. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
