Synopsis

Daffy rents a house from a realtor in Mexico, but Speedy, claiming that his Gonzales family has lived there for many generations, will not leave. The rodent remains stubborn as Daffy tries nailed signs, a mallet, a sewer rooter, a shotgun, a plunger, a hand grenade, and many sticks of dynamite.
