Donald's Valentine Dollar
It's Valentine's Day, but Donald can only afford a "$1.00" box of candy for Daisy's present. Unfortunately, his dollar bill blows away on a gust of wind and into a kite-flying park. Donald straps on a kite to make a set of wings and takes to the sky, battling other kites, stormy winds and his pesky, playful dollar-bill before he emerges victorious. Sadly, the $1.00 box of candy is already sold by the time Donald returns to the store. Luckily, it was Daisy who bought the box and happily feeds Donald chocolate.
