While he goes out to collect some firewood, the chipmunks enter the house and try to eat the uncooked popcorn.
They aren't able to chew it, and a frustrated Chip kicks some bits of corn into the fireplace, which pops.
The duck enters a fierce battle with the chipmunks for possession of the popcorn, including swapping its location, and a game of catch, which ends with Donald trying to burn down Chip and Dale's tree.
Concluding the short, a disgruntled Donald ends up having to clear popcorn out of his walkway.
The short was released on November 11, 2008 on Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Volume Four: 1951-1961.
