About Truant Officer Donald

Donald catches his nephews swimming on a school day. He thinks he's made an easy catch, but the boys are much more resourceful than that. When he tries to smoke them out of their clubhouse, they put three roast turkeys in their bed and dress one boy as an angel.

Is it just me, or does “Donald Duck” sound just like Katharine Hepburn here? He’s got himself a shiny new badge and is on the look out for school dodgers when he finds his three nephews frolicking in the pool. He swiftly apprehends them but suffice to say they are not going to go willingly and are soon besieged inside their den thwarting all of their uncle’s efforts. Whatever wheeze he comes up with, they have a plan - they even have three oven-ready turkeys and loads of self-raising flower! It’s good fun this one, with plenty of imaginative action and mischief right from the start and it’s even money throughout as to who might come out on top.
