Aboard ship and facing consequences for unknowingly harboring his stowaway nephews, Donald meets the wealthy Maharajah of Hoopadoola, who offers to resolve the Ducks' matters with the steamship line for a favor in return. The favor? Riding an old, gentle, sacred elephant across a narrow river to a neighboring kingdom. What possible harm could there be in such a gesture?
