Donnick is still a carefree, dim-witted person who does whatever he pleases. He often spends his time having fun. He inadvertently disrupts the unveiling of the new factory from after pushing his car up a hill. Sargent Mentel has a talk with him, telling him that it was time he acted more mature and take responsibility. Donnick thinks about it. Elsewhere, a gang leader called Don Mafia has the mayor held hostage for his biggest scheme yet, take over the Big City.
Meanwhile, Donnick pushes his car back up the hill. As he does, a woman passes by him, and is suddenly about to walk into traffic. As Donnick calls out for her, he accidentally lets go of his car, which prevents the oncoming cars to approach. The woman notices her sudden demise and thanks him for preventing it. In his car, she introduces herself as Gale Gaily and talks about her father missing since 17 days prior, much to Donnick's surprise. As Donnick invites her into his home, he finds Sammy in his house getting back her hairbrush, which was stolen by a white duck. As she leaves, he recognizes the goose as the one he took care of.
After introducing Goose to Gale, she explains that her father is in his late '30s, he wears a blue-ish gray suit and glasses, and is the mayor of Big City; to Donnick's surprise.
