Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Donald gets off the bus and heads home hoping to get a good night's sleep. At first, his plans for rest are disturbed by an open window shade which lets light from a flashing sign in. After that problem is dealt with, Donald is kept awake by a persistently dripping faucet. Donald tries to ignore it but after a while, it becomes aggravating to put it mildly. Donald makes several attempts to stop the dripping and finally at least is able to keep it under control via a Rube Goldberg contraption. At this point, Donald receives a call from his water company telling him he hasn't paid his water bill so they're cutting off his water!

| Trivia | The short became a popular meme when Donald was lying on the bed once the faucet was dripping. See more » |
| Goofs | During the hyperbole sequence where it looks like Donald's entire house is being shaken by a bomb strike, it cuts to a scene with his house on top of the Earth in space, with a night sky and clouds around it. In reality, since there is no air or atmosphere in space, there would never be any sky or clouds, just stars. See more » |

| Quotes |
[last lines, Donald stays up all through the night dealing with the drips from the faucet while collecting them in countless sponges until the telephone rings, Donald answers it]
Man on Telephone: Hello? Hello? Mr. Duck? Donald Duck: [fatigued] Yeah? Uh-huh? Man on Telephone: You haven't paid your water bill, so we're going to cut off your water. [somehow, a drip overhears this before hitting the sponge and reverts back to the sink, Donald laughs insanely] Donald Duck: Cutting off MY water! [Donald continues laughing hitting himself in the head with the phone and wet sponge before the picture irises out] See more » |
