Synopsis by Hal Erickson

A huge flock of predatory ducks--who look like Daffy but sound like Donald--steal all the corn from Porky Pig's chickens. This act of aggression leads to an all-out war, on land and in the air. At first the ducks have the advantage, but Porky manages to emerge triumphant with the help of a reconverted washing machine. Though the makeshift tanks, airplanes and machine guns are drawn in comic fashion, the action is disturbingly reminiscent of genuine wartime combat footage...and remember, we're still a year or so away from the outbreak of World War 2!
