- Values Dissonance: The basic plot of this episode involves Donald's nephews secretly buying him a box of cigars for his birthday, and Donald forcing them to smoke them all due to thinking they had bought them for themselves. In modern cartoons, this whole plot would be absolutely unthinkable, not only because to modern viewers it is a harmful example of child abuse, but because nowadays no shop would sell cigars or cigarettes to minors even if they are planning to buy them for an adult.
