Spike the Bee is listening to classical music on the radio, pretending to be a conductor. Donald Duck interrupts him and listens to the baseballWorld Series to hear his favorite star Casey and pretends to play baseball. Spike and Donald both fight over the radio. Spike threatens to sting Donald as he hides in his house. Donald builds a fake radio with a dynamite stick and the dynamite explodes and the bee is shaken up. Donald laughs at him and runs around the bases. Spike gets revenge by pointing his stinger at Donald's rear end. Donald slides for home base, but his rear end slides into the Bee's stinger, causing him to yell and jump up into the air.
The radio announcer tells people that Casey is out, and Donald angrily goes into his house to take a shower. Spike locks Donald in the shower from the outside lock and plays classical music as a conductor. Donald sees this and tries in vain to open the shower door as he loses his temper, but he remains trapped in his shower. The Bee then finishes conducting the music and rests.
