Plot

Don Donald Donald DuckDaisy Duck Don Donald YouTube

Donald Duck rides a donkey through the Mexican desert playing a guitar and wearing a sombrero on his way to the house of his girlfriend, Donna Duck. Donna dances the Mexican Hat Dance and eventually lands on Donald's donkey who throws her off his back. Donald laughs causing Donna to get angry. She knocks Donald into a fountain, breaks his guitar over his head, and storms back inside the house.

Donna is immediately won back with Donald's car. She lands in the rumble seat and gives Donald a big kiss. Together they speed off through the desert, but eventually the car has engine problems and stops working. Donald confidently tries to fix the problem but the car throws Donald out and speeds off without him. The rumble seat closes on Donna and she is trapped inside with Donald in pursuit. The car crashes, throwing Donna out of the rumble seat, across a waterhole, and into a mud puddle, and Donald laughs at her. Donna then rides off on her unicycle which she has conveniently carried with her in her purse.

Donald, alone in the desert with the donkey who has escaped from the trading post, gets mad at the car and throws a horn at it. This however causes the car's radiator to explode and the hot water lands on Donald's sombrero, shrinking it. The donkey laughs yet again.

It is unclear if Donna Duck simply represents an earlier version of Daisy Duck or is a separate character entirely. Donna is officially recognized as Daisy by the Internet Movie Database and the Big Cartoon DataBase. However Donna was later retconned in a 1951 Disney comic strip as Daisy's rival.
