Plot

Donald is bored with his job as a lighthouse keeper, and decides to wake up a sleeping pelican by shining the light on him. The pelican gets fed up and invades the lighthouse, putting out the light. Donald and the pelican engage in a fast-paced duel for the rest of the night, turning the light on and off, even continuing after sunrise.
