User Reviews

A battle of wits between Donald Duck and Humphrey-both woefully unarmed!

This short is a battle of wits. To be more accurate, it's a battle of half-wits and largely comes out a draw, though Humphrey could technically be called the bigger loser. As neither would ever be mistaken for a member of MENSA, their schemes and machinations don't go as planned. Delightful cartoon that's well worth seeking out, it plays periodically on The Ink and Paint Club. Recommended.
