Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Donald Duck makes his screen debut in this delightful Technicolor "Silly Symphony." With winter approaching, the Wise Little Hen searches for someone to help her plant her corn. But her neighbors Peter Pig and Donald Duck avoid hard work with the same excuse: "Who, me? Oh no. I gotta bellyache." So the Hen plants the corn herself, with assistance from her brood of chicks. Once the corn is grown, the Hen looks for someone to help with the harvest--but Peter and Donald once again beg off with yet another "bellyache." Guess who gets to eat all the corn bread, corn fritters and corn soup in the final scene...and guess who gets the castor oil instead?
