The plot
This charming Walt Disney short has Donald Duck in Hollywood, seeking autographs from famous celebrities. After a mean security guard kicks him out of the studio, he sneaks back in by hitching a ride with Greta Garbo in her Garbomobile (complete with a frowning face made by its headlights and bumper)!

When the guard catches Donald again, there's a chase. Donald escapes to Mickey Rooney's dressing room. He gets The Mickster's autograph...along with some free torment!

Then Donald comes across Sonja Henie, who skates her name into ice. Donald turns red when Shirley Temple recognizes him. In a fun twist, all the stars in Hollywood are suddenly excited about getting Donald's autograph when word gets out that he's on the lot! Garbo is so anxious that she literally drops Clark Gable in the middle of a scene, pulling an autograph book out of her dress as she dashes off to find Donald.
