Synopsis:
Every night food is mysteriously vanishing from Donald's fridge and the nephews decide to solve the mystery.

Comments:
One of the most obvious topics for story action during the nighttime would be Sleepwalking, so Barks obliged by making Donald a sleepwalker. And not only that; he is very determined in his choice of whereabouts. He stays in the home and enjoys huge meals night after night - while he is still asleep...

Synopsis:
Donald is plagued by nightmares. His doctor recommends he takes up some crocheting to steady his nerves. Then Daisy comes for a visit...

Comments:
Another obvious choice for nighttime activity is Nightmares. Again, Barks - and Donald - oblige as the latter is having the most frightful nightmares. NB.: This story is only included because of its main topic; in reality, Donald experiences his nightmares around the clock...

Synopsis:
Donald is starting at his new job as a night watchman. But will he be able to stay awake?

Comments:
According to this story - and the next - Donald is certainly not a night person. Consequently, following his few rounds in the warehouse is not overwhelmingly exciting, as he is more prone to sleep through the night.

Synopsis:
Donald is the new night watchman at the Wax Museum. It would be an easy job if the figures just wouldn't move around all the time...

Comments:
Sleeping on the job is Donald's primary preference in this story, too, but there is a distinct difference. In the museum he is soon involved in heavy - and self-inflicted(!) - actions.

Synopsis:
Donald turns to pyromania after receiving a bump to his head. Soon fires are blazing all over Duckburg but is Donald the culprit?

Comments:
Of course, Barks' main plot called for the actions to take place at nighttime, because this is the best time for a pyromaniac to really enjoy the menacing and colourful flames!

Synopsis:
Donald is walking around singing carols before Christmas but his voice is not very well liked. Especially not by neighbour Jones...

Comments:
Caroling is predominantly an American custom, where children and adults walk from house to house singing Christmas songs on December 24th. Strangely, Donald seems to prefer the darkest hours, when everybody prepares for bed, to demonstrate his highly questionable singing voice...

Synopsis:
As a stationmaster Donald is looking after a consignment of very hungry baby turkeys. The train robber Hairy Harry is just another complication.

Comments:
After Donald has tried to care for the 10,000 turkeys through the night, he has to venture out in the dark to check up on tracks and signals only to be overpowered by the robber.

Synopsis:
Two trains are unwittingly roaring towards each other and the nephews hear about it on TV. They frantically try to find a solution before the inevitable collision.

Comments:
For some reason Barks chose to let the actions unfold during the nighttime, although there was no real need to. The story could easily have taken place during the day, especially as a frightful blizzard makes the whole scenario menacing, anyway.

Synopsis:
Donald manages a lighthouse that is pestered by an albatross. Furthermore he has forgotten to buy Christmas presents for his nephews...

Comments:
The albatross is attracted to the light from the lighthouse during the night, because of the pleasant warmth it generates.

Synopsis:
Donald moves to a quieter neighbourhood in order to get a good night's sleep. But it is not that simple with an alpenhorn blower in the house...

Comments:
Donald would give anything to have one good night's sleep, and when he finally is about to - he stays up all night making a terrible racket in order to keep his next door neighbour awake...

Synopsis:
The nephews are collecting goodies for Halloween but Donald has decided to tease them. A real witch meddles in to fight the battle against the stingy uncle...

Comments:
Barks was asked to transform the upcoming cartoon short Trick or Treat into a comic book story, and so he did - in his own special way. See more HERE.

Synopsis:
The Duckburgians decide to hold a quiet Halloween this year but Donald doesn't hear of the plan and makes it the worst Halloween Duckburg has ever seen...

Comments:
We all know that when Donald really puts his mind into it nothing can stop him! In this story he manages to effectively scare the wits out of all the Duckburgians, and he tops it by making all the animals in the Zoo stampede into the city streets. A night to remember...
