[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After listening to one of his favorite radio programs, Porky Pig receives a grand prize from the station. Out of the gift box pops Daffy Duck, who insists on living in Porky's house. After numerous attempts to throw Daffy out of the house, Daffy devises a plan to stay. He tells Porky that he has a split personality and when people treat him badly he turns into a hideous monster, which he does by messing his hair up and putting in fangs. When Porky realizes he's been had, he now has to outsmart a psychotic duck and get him out of the house by dressing up as a monster. When Daffy sees the monster, he becomes so scared, he falls apart (literally) and runs out of the house screaming.
