Plot
Daffy Duck finds himself in a perilous situation during duck hunting season and employs his cunning to outsmart both Elmer Fudd and a fox named Fortescue. Daffy tricks them into competing against each other for his capture, leading to comical mishaps. Despite several close encounters with danger, Daffy manages to turn the tables on both Elmer and the fox using clever schemes and manipulation.
In the chaos that ensues, Daffy orchestrates a series of events that pit Elmer and the fox against each other, ultimately leading to their confrontation. As they engage in a heated argument, a dog ranger arrives and changes the hunting seasons, causing Elmer to chase after the fox instead. Daffy, disguised as the dog ranger, watches the chaos unfold, amused by his own cleverness in manipulating his adversaries.
