In his fantasy Donald sees himself as a rich man with a cigar , but a short time later he feels guilty because he has stolen from his nephews. Now he sees himself as a wanted criminal, flees from imaginary persecutors on the roofs of houses and in the end thinks himself in prison in prison clothes. The cell bars turn out to be the back door of a company looking for a dishwasher for the night . Donald's conscience signals to him that he could honestly earn the money his nephews spent by working and so he works all night. He secretly puts the money back in the piggy bank at home, but realizes that he has put one too many nickel in it. When he tries to knock the coin out of the pig, ticks, tricks and tracks suddenly appear in the door and scold their uncle as a thief. The spokesman notes that crime doesn't pay off.
