comment
The Trial of Donald Duck is a 1948 Disney short, directed by Jack King, the last one to be directed by him.Donald Duck is out having a picnic in a park, but it starts raining, so he takes refuge in the first shelter he spots: a fancy French restaurant, and brings his picnic food in with him, which the restaurant charges him for. Unable to pay the bill, the restaurant takes Donald to court.

Metaphoric Metamorphosis: As the defense attorney says that Donald found Pierre to be "hard and cold" about his situation, Pierre is shown first as a granite statue, and then an ice sculpture.

Foreshadowing: Little does Donald know that as he is taken to his table in the restaurant, he is already in hot water as it has a five-dollar cover charge.

Work Off the Debt
 The Trial of Donald Duck / int_ab802f4b
comment
Work Off the Debt: After being found guilty, Donald is to choose which form of sentence to go with, either paying a ten-dollar fine or spending the next ten days at the restaurant washing dishes. Donald chooses the latter option — and the trope becomes subverted, as he deliberately smashes most of the restaurant dishes after washing them.

Pyrrhic Victory: The waiter may have won the case against Donald in the tribunal, but he is forced to bear with Donald "washing" his dishes for ten days as the judge stipulated.

Loophole Abuse
 The Trial of Donald Duck / int_b1dde8fd
comment
Loophole Abuse: What happens in the end. While Donald is technically washing dishes at the Café Chez Pierre to pay off his debt, the judge didn't specify how well he should wash the dishes, which Donald takes advantage of as he deliberately washes them so badly that he smashes every plate, bowl, cup, and glass he gets his hands on, with every intention of doing so for ten days as the judge stipulated. An excellent way to get back at Pierre, who could do nothing but beg and sob since the law is now on Donald's side.
