Donald's Double Trouble is a 1946 Donald Duck short film released by RKO Radio Pictures, colored by Technicolor and produced by Walt Disney Productions. This cartoon made the fourth appearance of Daisy Duck.

This short is notability for a short-tempered Daisy Duck, which revealed Daisy exist a dangerous temper at the end of the short, while ironically having called out Donald for his temper beforehand.

Plot

Donald is inside a telephone booth in a telephone call with Daisy, who scolds him for a lack of manners and criticizes him for his poor use of the English language and threatens to end their relationship if Donald doesn't learn to speak proficiently after which she slams the phone down and the telephone booth literally explodes, depicting Daisy as extremely furious, and Donald's clothes worn-out in the process.

Fearing that he will lose Daisy, Donald wanders through the streets to figure out a solution when he meets a look-alike British-accented duck with a more pleasant voice and temper than him, whom he offers money to impersonate him in order to win back Daisy.

The plan goes awry when the look-alike starts falling for Daisy, which incurs Donald's wrath and jealousy. For the rest of the date, Donald tries everything to prevent them from getting closer and win back Daisy himself.

Donald follows them to an amusement park, where he tried all attempts to stop falling for the look-alike, but failed at every turn. The final attempt is at the tunnel of love, where he begs the look-alike to stop but is pushed underwater. Donald, now soaked and infuriated, storms into the tunnel and a massive and brutal fight ensues offscreen.

The camera then zooms to the exit of the tunnel, where it shows Donald and the look-alike holding hands and closing eyes romantically, exiting the tunnel, which they both mistake for Daisy. When they realize it, both are shocked and when Daisy walks outside the tunnel, completely drenched, angrily ranting at them unclearly, Donald and look-alike run away as Daisy continues to yell at them.
