The Overnight Hero

Donald attends a family reunion of the Ducks, where all the relatives recount their professional exploits of the past year. Since Donald works only as an ordinary plumber, several relatives offer him the opportunity to learn their trade. He then unsuccessfully attempts an apprenticeship with a detective and later with an astronaut.
