Daffy Duck as he first appeared in Porky's Duck Hunt

Porky prepares for duck hunting but encounters numerous mishaps. He mistakenly shoots a man upstairs and faces retaliation. At the lake, other hunters fail to hit a duck, causing chaos. Daffy tricks Porky repeatedly, leading to comedic mayhem. Despite Porky's efforts, he fails to catch a duck and faces humiliation. In a final attempt, Porky accidentally fires his gun inside his house, resulting in more trouble.

Production notes

In this short, Porky Pig stars alongside Daffy Duck, marking Daffy's debut. Mel Blanc voices both characters, originally slated to voice only Daffy but taking over as Porky due to Joe Dougherty's firing after Porky's Romance due to his stutter.^[4][5][6][7]
