Paperino e il lavoro proficuo

After having a nightmare,where he was being evicted by his uncle Scrooge,Donald wakes up to really find out that his uncle has really come to send him away from his home.To find some money to pay the rent,he tries several jobs with poor results,to be eventually hired as a worker in a gold mine,where he discovers that one of his co-workers is smuggling gold by putting it in a fake plastic pick.When he exposes this plot,the manager promises him that the owner of the mine is going to give him a large reward,but it turns out that uncle Scrooge owns the outfit,so the reward is very meagre,much to Donald's disappointment,who starts chasing his uncle angrily.
