Donald Duck
Storyline
Donald practices the cha cha so that he can win the first prize in a dance contest, a silver bowl, with Daisy, and give her his half of the bowl as a Christmas gift. But Scrooge is supposed to supply the bowl, and so he enters the contest, too, with a dance teacher as his partner.
