Plot summary
Donald Duck is eating lunch when his cousin Gus Goose arrives with a note from Aunt Fanny, who writes that she is sending Gus to stay and that Gus does not eat much. Gus shakes Donald's hand frantically and shows him a pocket alarm clock divided into dinner, tea, supper and lunch. Then he works through the kitchen: soup goes down two spoons at once, an ear of corn is eaten the way a typist uses a keyboard, bread and luncheon meat are shuffled like a deck and swallowed whole, and spaghetti is knitted into a sock and drunk. Donald is amused until Gus takes his bread, his chocolate cake and his donuts, and sips the peas up a straw. Fed up, Donald tries to push his cousin out by handcart and ends up on the lawn himself.
