Plot
On a stormy night, Donald and his nephews hear a radio reporter at Breckenridge announce that a fierce gorilla named Ajax has escaped from the city zoo. Donald frightens his nephews with black gloves that look like gorilla hands. The nephews peer through a keyhole to see their uncle laughing and wearing the gloves. Vowing revenge, the triplets dress up in a gorilla suit and sneak up on Donald as he reads, taking a bite of his lollipop. Comparing the gorilla’s fangs, Donald runs away in fright. At the same time, the real Ajax appears in a front window, breaks into the house and roars at the nephews who flee. Donald, now aware that the nephews pranked him, chases them in anger, running right into Ajax. Assuming that the gorilla is the nephews in disguise, Donald yanks on the “mask” but then realizes that there are two gorillas, much to his shock. Donald opens Ajax’s mouth and calls for the nephews, only to hear his echo before Ajax roars at him. The radio announcer advises listeners to look at animals straight in the eye. Taking the advice, Donald stares into the gorilla’s eye where he sees a tombstone destined for him. Donald then shoves an umbrella into Ajax’s mouth as he was about to bite Donald and flees. Donald and his nephews tiptoe through the house, but the nephews first spill melted candle wax on his tail before accidentally burning his butt. Boiling with rage, Donald sends the triplets away but burns his hand on the superheated doorknob after placing the candle right under it. Donald crosses paths with Ajax, who is swinging from rafts. After a stare-down and at the urging of his tail, Donald runs away and hides behind a door. Ajax tries to open the door with Donald pulling it back, causing it to break. Ajax searches for Donald through the big hole and as he puts the broken off part back, it falls, causing Donald to be seen and beginning a chase. Donald briefly tricks Ajax up a ladder, making him crash through several ceilings and end up in the attic. Ajax resumes the chase with Donald using the ladder as stilts. Ajax swipes the stilts from Donald, causing Donald to slide down the dining room table and the two meet at the edge. Donald tries to run away but causes damage to the table and the wooden boards to fly into Ajax’s hands and falls between two halves. Ajax slides the smaller half to flatten Donald and tries to bite his tail off, only for it to poke Ajax in the eyes. Upon the radio’s advice, the nephews use tear gas to subdue Ajax, who begins to cry. Donald laughs at the crying gorilla but then breathes in the tear gas too. The two close the cartoon consoling each other.
