Window Cleaners

Donald sits on a rope platform that Pluto is slowly raising, setting up the day’s work with comic tension. The precarious setup establishes the dynamic between the two characters and the hazards to come.

A building occupant uses garden shears to trim Donald’s hat and tail feathers, leaving his bare tail exposed. The humiliating trim heightens the embarrassment before the first mishap.

Pluto is easily distracted by a flea, causing him to let go of the rope. Donald begins to fall as a result, triggering the subsequent chaos.

The rope becomes entangled with a stop sign, abruptly stopping the platform. Donald slides toward the ground, bracing for impact.

Donald crashes onto a horse statue, landing in a pose that evokes Napoleon. The fall punctuates his humiliation and sets up the next gag.

Still reeling from the earlier chaos, Donald tries to wash a window with a bucket of water but quickly runs out. The failed cleaning adds another visual gag to the sequence.

Donald commands Pluto to wake up and attach a fresh bucket of water, but Pluto refuses to cooperate. The back-and-forth heightens Donald’s frustration and the comedy of errors.

Enraged, Donald yells at Pluto and hurls a brush down the drainpipe. The impulsive act triggers a reaction that escalates the mischief.

Pluto wakes and accidentally blows the pulley to the bucket filled with nuts and bolts. Donald hoists the bucket and dumps the contents toward the window, creating a new mess.

The contents shatter the window, and Donald pulls down the shade in embarrassment. The fiasco leaves him flustered as the onlookers react.

Spike the Bee flies to a tulip nearby, and Donald nearly dunks him in water as a prank. Spike’s near-drowning fuels his desire for revenge.

Spike attacks Donald, who defends himself with a bucket. They move toward a flagpole, Donald loses balance and becomes tangled in the rope platform. Spike readies a sting toward Donald's exposed rear, intensifying the chaos.

Spike stings Donald’s exposed rear end, prompting a loud yell and causing him to become untangled from the rope platform. The situation spirals as the bee takes advantage of the confusion.

In panic, Donald dives headfirst into the drainpipe, peeking out at the bottom and yelling for help. Pluto ignores him, shoves Donald’s head back into the drainpipe, and drifts back to sleep.
