Episode Title:
Duck Pimples.
Episode Description:
Donald Duck's imagination, enhanced by scary stories on the radio and in books, moves him into a seemingly real crime world, which ultimately turns out to be imaginary. Donald's dream is enhanced by the backgrounds that abruptly change each time a new character appears in it. Scenes where Donald is threatened with a knife and the detective is threatened with an axe were at one time cut, but have been restored for the DVD release. The cartoon is perhaps the closest Disney ever got to the zany world of Tex Avery, and specifically references his Who Killed Who? (1943) in two ways: the use of an organ instead of a traditional orchestral score, and having Billy Bletcher voice the detective. Additionally, the character of Pauline is an obvious inspiration for the character of Jessica Rabbit in the 1988 feature Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
