A golden egg has been stolen from the Duckburg museum. Its return will be rewarded with 50,000 dollars. When the thief detects two policemen in a supermarket he hides the golden egg in an egg carton which is bought by Donald shortly after that. Without Donald knowing about the precious content of the carton the egg repeatedly changes owners until the circle closes and Donald gets the carton back from Daisy. Donald now sends the carton by courier to the Junior Woodchucks where his nephews need eggs for a brunch. However, Donald mixes up the house numbers and so the golden egg arrives where it belongs – at the Duckburg museum.
