Plot

Black Pete is spending the night playing his trombone. Then you see the gods Zeus and Hephaestus (aka Jupiter and Vulcan as they are named in the cartoon, also their Roman names) who have a similar appearance to Donald Duck except they wear robes and Vulcan is a bit wider. They are woken up by Pete's trombone playing. They later decide to think of some way to stop this. Later, Donald has a similar issue. He can't sleep due to Pete's trombone playing. He goes to Pete's house, and Pete responds by blowing through the trombone as hard as he can right in Donald's face. Sending Donald back into his house into a wall. Then Jupiter and Vulcan notice Donald wanting to stop this as well. So, Jupiter decides to give him some of his power so he can get rid of Pete. Donald fires lightning bolts from his hands, makes his hands electric, and does other godlike things and succeeds in getting rid of Pete. Jupiter and Vulcan see all of that and think that their troubles are over. They proceed to go back to sleep on their cloud. Then Donald notices Pete's trombone and decides to play it. Jupiter and Vulcan awake to see that who they helped get rid of that guy, is now playing the trombone. They both collapse from exasperation.
