On March 13, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are in their treehouse debating what to get their uncle Donald for his birthday, ultimately settling on a box of cigars.

Finding the charges reasonable, Donald happily pays the boys, but then immediately forces them to deposit the funds in a locking coin bank (whose song advises the boys to "Take my advice, Do as I say, Save a little money for a rainy day").

A subsequent attempt to take the coin bank fares better, and the boys run off with the money.

Horrified of what he has done, Donald shrinks out of shame and jumps out a hole in the tree house floor.
