From Jerry Edwards : Full of action and gags.
I always get a laugh out of Donald butting heads with a mountain goat, with
the goat getting the worse end of the "contest." As much as Disney has censored
their shorts, I am surprised I have never seen the drunkenness scene of Donald
and the St. Bernard censored.

From Ryan : Here we have Mickey, Donald,
and Pluto climbing in the Alps. This is back in the days when Mickey was
still mischievious. This is all gone by the 1950's. He's collecting eagle
eggs (what he plans to do with them is a mystery to me). He's just asking
for trouble ain't he? Meanwhile, Donald is collecting edleweiss (this is
the best spelling of the word that I can do). While watching this short,
I didn't know what Donald said when he saw the flowers. "Oh boy! Oh boy!
______?" When I put it on closed caption, I saw that he said "Oh boy! Oh
boy! Edleweiss!" Speaking of edleweiss, my high school put on a play with
that title last year. It took place in Germany during WWII and was about
a school teacher. As for Pluto, he's been covered by a small avalanche. A
St. Bernard (who looks quite similar to the one from "Three Orphan Kittens")
comes to his rescure by giving him a hot beverage that "defrosts" his body
in no time. What was this beverage? I thought at first perhaps it was tea,
coffee, or hot chocolate. Apparently it isn't. It's some sort of alcoholic
beverage as the two dogs are shown drunk with red noses at the end of the
cartoon. I loved this short! It kicked ***!

From Baruch Weiss : In this short we have Mickey Donald and Pluto climbing in the Swiss Alps. Mickey is asking for trouble by taking eagle eggs, Donald is picking flowers and Pluto gets drunk on some sort of alcaholic beverage. Speaking of eagle eggs, one is actually allowed to do that, but they have to shoo the mother bird away. I too have no idea what Mickey plans to do with them, but I am sure he is askin for trouble!
