The story of "Polar Trappers" is that Donald Duck and Goofy are at the South Pole trapping arctic animals. The name of Donald's and Goofy's trapping business is "Donald & Goofy Trapping Co," and their slogan is "We Bring 'Em Back Alive." As the short opens, Goofy is setting up an animal trap while singing "We Bring 'Em Back Alive," while Donald is in an igloo preparing a meal. Donald explains how sick he is of eating beans all the time, and then suddenly sees a penguin outside. He thinks that a penguin would be a a great stand-in for a roast chicken. The rest of the cartoon deals with Donald trying to lure a large group of penguins into his cooking pot, while Goofy is trying to catch a walrus.

This is a very detailed and wonderful original animation production drawing of Goofy from the 1938 animated Walt Disney short, "Polar Trappers." The drawing is from the scene when Goofy wonders after a walrus and finds himself inside of an ice cave. The cave is filled with sharp icicles barely hanging from the roof of the cave, and they seem to be on the edge of falling with any sudden sound. Goofy takes a stick pin from his arctic coat and drops it on the ground to see if a tiny sound would cause the icicles to fall. This drawing is him removing the stick pin from his coat. Goofy is eyes open, wearing his polar coat and his iconic hat. The drawing is accomplished in red and graphite pencil on peg hole animation paper; and is an absolutely fantastic drawing of Goofy from the 1930's!
