action
Donald Duck was having a picnic when a flock of ants passed him. Each ant is laden with food and Donald targets the last of the long line. He pushes the bean on the ant's back down so that the ant has to carry a greater load, loads the animal with sandwiches and its thermos, lets it go up a stick and finally balance it along a taut thread. When he vibrates it and the ant finally loses its balance and falls to the ground, he mocks it.
When it fell, the ant landed in a cake and now sees all of Donald's food supplies. She notifies the other ants who are now coming in droves to Donald's picnic area. They transport Donald asleep and throw him over a cliff into the water. Then they put the food in their aisles. Donald tries to save what can be saved, but is even stripped of his clothes in the process. In the end, he sticks dynamite sticks in the ant den. However, the explosion splinters the cliff he is sitting on and he falls down again. At the end , the ants gather around a muffin , which they eat together.
