Walt Disney introduces "one of Disney's most unusual stories" which shows why Donald Duck becomes a hermit. Walt narrates the introductions to the various scenes with a Love Thy Neighbor sign gradually breaking and eventually falling off Walt's wall as each scene shows Donald's increasing hatred of his neighbors.
Cartoons: (1) The New Neighbor [1953] (2) Slide Donald Slide [1949] (3) Inferior Decorator [1948] (4) Beezy Bear [1955] (5) Hook, Lion And Sinker [1950] (6) Duck Pimples [1945]. Short scene from: (1) Trick Or Treat [1952].
Scenes from animated films: (1) Dumbo [1941] - shadows of clowns in tent recycled as noisy neighbors through a window.
TV animation created: (1) After the cameraman is fired upon as he approaches Donald's hermit cave, a telephoto lens is used to show Donald firing at any noise maker - a bird, a rattlesnake ... even an ant. Donald spies the telephoto lens and fires at it, shattering the lens. (2) Donald's home in earlier times is shown in a busy city with noisy traffic and thieving, interfering, noisy neighbors. Donald moves - leads into The New Neighbor. (3) Donald enjoys the outdoors and is friendly with birds and a bee, who shares his honey - leads into Slide Donald Slide. (4) After the end of Slide Donald Slide, Donald breaks out of the shower. The radio tells the bee that flowers are producing more honey than ever - leads into Inferior Decorator. (5) After Beezy Bear, Donald is shown lazily fishing in a boat on a lake - leads into Hook, Lion And Sinker. (6) Donald drives a van towards his hermit cave with scenes of previous neighbor problems going through his head. He decides to give a Ghost Town a try. Witch Hazel (from Trick Or Treat) and the characters from Duck Pimples decide to have some fun with Donald - leads into Duck Pimples. (7) Chimney Butte, now shown to be on Atomic Proving Grounds, is bombed and Donald is blown into the live action scene of Walt's office. Donald hangs the Love Thy Neighbor sign back on the wall and decides to be neighborly to Walt and the audience.
