==Plot==
Taking advantage of a circus going out of business and selling all its wares, Donald Duck's nephews offer him a camel for Christmas. What seemed like a very nice, if somewhat eccentric, gift soon becomes a burden as it becomes apparent feeding and taking care of a camel won't come cheap. To try and make him worth his while, Donald takes the camel to the desert to prospect for uranium. But a circus beast is ill-suited to such a task…
