* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Much of the episode could have being prevented had Donald actually read up on current events that school has closed for the summer holidays. Alternatively, the boys should have informed him about this. Although, they might had told him off-screen but Donald simply did not believe them.

WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck is, no prizes for guessing correctly, a truant officer. He has tracked down Huey, Dewey, and Louie to a pond where the boys are swimming and having a good time. Donald promptly arrests them. As he's taking them to school in his paddy wagon, the the boys cut their way out and flee to their clubhouse. The latter portion of the cartoon is a battle featuring Donald laying siege to the clubhouse, trying to catch the boys, while they try to outwit him.
