Donald Duck works at the Royal Bros. Department Store in the gift wrapping department, and on this morning he was late to work. But, using a magnet he set the punch clock back so no one would notice he was tardy. Donald races downstairs to the gift wrapping department and is greeted by his boss on the bullhorn, who then recites the Royal Bros. motto, which included that the employees did not watch the clock. Donald however could not wait for 5:00 to roll around. In the meantime, a ton of items to be gift wrapped came pouring down the chute. The first item was a goldfish bowl. Donald did a fine job wrapping it, until he stamped it "Fragile" which broke it. He next picked a very small box for an inflated football. To make it fit, he deflated it. Next, he filled a six-shooter with ink and marked one package a "rush". The boss on the bullhorn listened to Donald's every move so when Donald wanted to pause and read a comic book, he rustled paper and shook boxes at the bullhorn to fool his boss. Next Donald is sent a rocking chair to wrap, and he wraps it with himself sitting in the seat.
Just then the boss announced that productivity in all departments would increase. Donald sat back happily thinking about the extra money he'd be making, until it was announced that Donald's department wasn't included. Next, Donald struggles to wrap a jack-in-the-box that wouldn't stay closed. He tried everything from clamping it down, to tying it down. Finally, he had to wrestle with it, switching clothes in the process. Finally, 5:00 came. Quitting time. But before Donald could run upstairs he was asked to stay and wrap a few more items. The boss knew Donald wouldn't mind, but Mr. Duck decided to express his feelings by racing upstairs and beating up his boss.
The Clock Watcher. Another classic Donald Duck cartoon. This time he works in a department store as a gift wrapper, and we can pretty much assume that he is not very good at it. But by the end of this cartoon, he becomes a hero to the workers by racing upstairs and beating up his boss, so it's a safe bet he has been fired. This cartoon is celebrating its 60th anniversary. It's also available on a brand new Donald Duck DVD chronicling all his hits from 1942 to 1946! So, from 1945, The Clock Watcher. I recommend it to all the Donald fans out there!
