[edit] Plot

While speeding on the road, Donald Duck blows a tire in his car, necessitating its replacement with the car's spare. He encounters difficulty lifting the car with his jack, removing the damaged tire, and repairing it with a patch. Unfortunately for him, all four tires immediately pop once he resumes driving, but he continues his trip undaunted on four flats.

[edit] Context

The cartoon pokes fun at the difficulties involved in America's rubber rationing, a consequence of World War II.^[1]
