Plot

Donald reads a newspaper that the eggs' value is really high and the price amount is increased; he thinks that he could get rich, so he goes into the henhouse and changes the music from the record player. While the hens are dancing and popping their eggs out, Donald collects them and puts them into a huge basket. A rooster standing guard reveals Donald and kicks him out. Donald is trying to avoid the rooster, so he disguises himself as a hen. He is mistaken for the rooster's love interest. They dance together, but Donald's disguise falls off. With the rubber glove comb constantly coming loose and a caterpillar falling down the back of his suit, Donald is ever at the risk of being discovered.
