She cooks up a tantalizing assortment of corn dishes, and heads over to Peter and Donald to help her eat them, but before she can open her mouth, they already fake their belly aches. Once she asks them to help her eat the corn, they snap out of their façade and are excited to eat, but as they fight to eat it, they discover that all they got is castor oil instead of corn. As they witness the hen and her chicks eat the corn themselves, with no intention to give any of it away, Peter and Donald repent with all their might by kicking each other in the rump.
