In a harborside building on a foggy night (February 13), which happens to fall on Friday the 13th, two criminals prepare a gift bomb for someone named "Scarpuss" at "1313 13th Street" for Valentine's Day. Donald Duck is hired to deliver the package, being unaware of the bomb it contains. Complications arise when a black cat crosses his path, but fortunately for Donald, the cat ends up knocking the bomb into the water of the harbor, and he survives.

Reception

Motion Picture Herald reviewed the short on October 11, 1938: "The fowl is a messenger boy this time, commissioned to deliver an infernal machine on Friday the 13th. His errand is stymied by a playful but very black cat which is unintentionally but most amusingly instrumental in preventing Donald's death by dynamite. Donald is less quarrelsome and a deal more understandable than commonly. It is one of his best appearances."[2]

Home media

The short was released on May 18, 2004, on Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Volume One: 1934-1941.[3]
