Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Private Donald Duck has snuck off base for some unauthorized R&R. But his clever ruse (a dummy and a sound effects record) don't fool Sergeant Pete, who's waiting for him when he sneaks back in. Donald hides in one of three boxes and plays the shell game for a while, until Pete throws the box with Donald along the top of a sharp fence, sawing it in half. Donald lands in a hole, and both he and Pete think he's been sawed in half, for a while. Donald discovers he's OK, but his joy is shortlived when Pete gives chase (a chase slowed considerably by the 35 MPH national speed limit).

Sgt. Pete:
[pretending to be a fellow cadet]
We sure pulled one on the sarge, didn't we, pal? Donald Duck: Heh heh, yeah, we sure pulled one over alright. [Pete flexes his arm muscles to mess with Donald's head, Donald gets up to see Pet's arm and following to Pete's face where they meet eye to eye] Donald Duck: WAK! Sgt. Pete: Yeah, it's me.
