Canvas Back Duck is a 1953 Walt Disney animated short film starring Donald Duck, his nephews, and Pete.[1]

Plot

Donald and his nephews visit a carnival. While they play games, Donald is tricked by a shifty barker into fighting "Pee Wee Pete" (Pegleg Pete), a truculent bruiser who significantly outweighs Donald. In spite of help from Huey, Dewey and Louie, the situation looks desperate for Donald Duck, until his fist accidentally connects with Pete's jaw, which breaks as a visual gag for him having a glass jaw and he collapses to the canvas out cold. Donald wins the prize money and exits the carnival triumphantly with his nephews.
