Spare the Rod

Spare the Rod is a Donald Duck cartoon with his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie. It depicted racial stereotypes that had to be cut out, there is a censored version of this short that deleted all scenes of the cannibals. The time of the short was reduced from 6 minutes (not counting credits) to 2.5 minutes.

Synopsis
Donald has the same old problem dealing with his three troublesome nephews, and is torn between using psychology or losing his temper.

Plot
The cartoon starts with Donald using his typical strong arm tactics to try to get his nephews to do their chores - they keep sneaking off to play games, like "Indians on the warpath." The "child psychologist" convinces Donald to join in the games, using the game to get the nephews to do their chores. Complicating matters are the cannibals, who have escaped from a circus. They spot Donald and think he would make great duck stew. Donald mistakes the cannibals as his nephews playing games and plays along until one of the cannibals bites Donald to "taste" him. Donald loses his temper and takes the cannibal out to the woodshed. The cannibals take off and Donald, seeing his nephews, angrily chases them back to doing their chores. Donald then takes the "child psychologist" to the woodpile.
