The Trial of Donald Duck
0 views
Donald is caught in the rain while eating his lunch. He ducks into a restaurant for a cup of coffee, but Chez Pierre is a very ritzy place, and by the time all is said and done, he’s facing a bill for $35.99, and he only got a drop of coffee, and he only has a nickel. Pierre takes him to court, where this story is told, and is ordered to pay $10 or wash dishes for ten days.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
Donald taken to court over a restaurant bill he cannot pay, in one of the studio's better satirical premises. The courtroom setting lets Donald be entirely in the right and comprehensively defeated anyway, which is the shape of his best material.
