Quack Shot

Elmer Fudd is duck hunting at a lake when he shoots a young duckling that falls into his boat. Daffy Duck emerges from the water, grabs the duckling, and places it back in the lake. Daffy warns Elmer that if he shoots one more duck, he will be in trouble.

Elmer shoots Daffy at point-blank range, removing feathers from Daffy's scalp. Daffy declares war and jumps back into the lake to plan his counterattack. Elmer retaliates by shooting Daffy in the rear, stripping more feathers.

Daffy resorts to a series of tricks to stop Elmer's hunting. He uses gadgets and clever stunts to distract Elmer and prevent a clean shot. The relentless pursuit escalates the rivalry between the two.

Daffy dons diving gear and goes underwater to drill holes in Elmer's speedboat. He goes too far and surfaces with a leak, and Elmer shoots him. Daffy reverses the drill and sinks with the leak, but Elmer shoots into the hole and hits Daffy again.

Daffy uses a smoke maker to cover Elmer's boat and swims over with a gas mask and mallet. Just as he is about to attack, Elmer reveals a fan that blows away part of the smoke and shoots Daffy. Daffy mutters a smart remark and swims away.

Daffy gets on a hot air balloon with a bomb to drop on Elmer's boat. He lights the fuse, but the bomb explodes instantly, blowing up the balloon along with Daffy and the remnants of the balloon. Gravity pulls them downward as the attack fails.

While Elmer is making duck calls, Daffy, in a deep diving mask, drops a stick of dynamite into Elmer's boat. Elmer quickly slides the dynamite into Daffy's mask, and it detonates in Daffy's face. Daffy escapes, slightly worse for wear but alive.

Daffy launches a miniature toy battleship at Elmer's boat, and its real guns shoot Elmer in the face after he retrieves the toy boat from the water. The playful weaponry intensifies the chaotic duel.

Daffy attaches a duck decoy loaded with gunpowder and a fuse to Elmer's decoy string. Daffy's thumb gets stuck in the knot, but he unties himself; the explosive decoy detonates against his thumb, yet Daffy survives unharmed.

As Elmer pulls up at the dock, Daffy slips under a bucket and places dynamite next to Elmer. Elmer tries to muffle the blast with the bucket Daffy is in. The explosion erupts and Daffy dazedly crawls away, leaving behind a trail of feathers.

Elmer, wrapped in bandages, decides that duck hunting is too risky and tries fishing instead. He hooks a miniature barracuda, then a larger one rises from the lake to threaten him, warning that more fish will bring trouble. Daffy then emerges from under Elmer's hat and mutters a final quip before hopping away.

Elmer ties Daffy up with rope and sends him out into the lake on a boat loaded with explosives. The boat sails toward the pier, circles back, and as it returns, Daffy jumps into the water. The boat explodes at the precise moment it reaches the pier.

Elmer, still bandaged, tries fishing again and is taunted by a larger barracuda that rises from the lake to warn him. Daffy emerges from under Elmer's hat, mutters a line about a strong union, and hops away across the water to end the confrontation.
