Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Donald is leading a scout troop consisting of his nephews on a hike in the woods. Donald isn't nearly the expert on the woods that he thinks he is, much to the amusement of the boys. In a bid for sympathy, he douses himself in catsup and fakes injury; the boys bandage him so thoroughly he can't see, and he stumbles into a pot of honey, and is soon getting all too much attention from a bear.

“Donald” decides to take his three nephews camping in Yellowstone national park. Pristine in their Boy Scout uniforms and equipped with their tent and oodles of tom(ato) cat(hup), he attempts to show the boys all the wonders of a petrified forest, but of course it all goes rapidly wrong as their bandaging exercise sees “Donald” ending up dunked in honey and suddenly flavour of the month for a peckish bear. Can he escape it’s menacing claws? Perhaps an old geyser can help? I wouldn’t bet much on the youngsters doing much more than sitting idly by having a well deserved laugh at their uncle’s expense. The scenarios lend themselves well to the artists colourful pen, leaving us with quite a fun outing for the fearless foursome that plays the frying pan to fire antics quite entertainingly and that almost - only almost - had me feeling story for the duck.
