Plot
Donald, working as a lumberjack, attempts to top a tall tree. Unknown to him, the chipmunks Chip and Dale have made their home in the tree, and repeatedly foil Donald's attempts. Donald is at first unaware of the chipmunks, but eventually he discovers they have been sabotaging his work and decides to chop the entire tree down in retaliation. The tree falls and flips end over end landing on a log flume. Using a pike pole, Donald catches a ride on the log and heads for a sawmill.
Chip and Dale catch a ride in a toolbox on a zip line overhead. They ride ahead of Donald, jump from the tool box with a hammer, and dismantle a side of the flume with it. Donald careens off of the flume and the out of control log follows him down the hill.
The log runs through a mine, unexpectedly picks up a box of dynamite, and heads straight for Donald's house. Panicking, Donald moves everything he can out of the path of the log and breathes a sigh of relief as it passes through the house. However, Dale points out to Donald that the log has struck power lines behind the house. All Donald can do is watch as the lines shoot the log back toward the house, sending it flying into the distance where it explodes. A dazed Donald can only watch in disbelief while the chipmunks mock him.
