Plot
coup de grace, his conscience
and the sight of a scared and crying Tootsie reminds him why he shouldn't harm her. Full of remorse over what he was about to do, Donald settles down the gun and cries. As he laments, his gun falls down suddenly. An alarmed Donald tries to stop the gun from falling but is too late to prevent it from firing a hole in the wall, with Tootsie nowhere in sight. Horrified, Donald frantically looks for Tootsie through the pile of rubble. Suddenly, Tootsie reveals herself to be alive and well, having retreated to the closet in the nick of time. An overjoyed and relieved Donald hugs her. Tootsie forgives the teary-eyed duck by snuggling him before falling asleep in his arms. Donald then looks at the camera and smiles.
