Wikipedia article
'Golden Eggs' is a 1941 American animated short film directed by Wilfred Jackson and produced by Walt Disney, featuring Donald Duck.
Plot
Donald reads a newspaper that the eggs' value is really high and the price amount is increased; he thinks that he could get rich, so he goes into the hen-house and changes the music from the record player. While the hens are dancing and popping their eggs out, Donald collects them and puts them into a huge basket.
Unfortunately, a rooster standing guard reveals Donald and kicks him out. Donald is trying to avoid the rooster, so he disguises himself as a hen. He is mistaken for the rooster's love interest. They dance together, but unfortunately, Donald's disguise falls off. With the rubber glove comb constantly coming loose and a caterpillar falling down the back of his suit, Donald is ever at the risk of being discovered.
