Chip and Dale are not able to find enough acorns to store up for the winter due to all the acorns in the forest being picked. The chipmunks then see
Donald Duck
, working as a park ranger, beginning to seed a clearing in the oak forest. Seeing his large sack of acorns, they set out to steal it. They manage to make off with the entire sack (even after Dale tries to follow Donald's advice), but Donald who figures out the plot, easily takes it from them just as they enter the ground entrance to their tree, then places a box trap (baited with an acorn) which successfully ensnares both chipmunks despite Chip being fully aware of the ruse and them trying to get out of the mess. While the chipmunks argue with each other, Donald looks on amused and provokes them to fight.
Finally the chipmunks figure out his dirty tricks and run for the acorns. Donald stands in front of the tree entrance to keep the acorns from going inside. Chip and Dale then pick up hockey sticks. Using teamwork and natural hockey skills, the chipmunks beat Donald at his favorite sport, and finally flatten him with an overwhelming acorn "stampede", filling up the entire tree. A dazed Donald knocks at the door and hits in one last acorn at the chipmunks and laughs at them as if he has won the battle while they conclude that Donald has lost his mind.
