Synopsis: Porky Pig intends to do a still-life painting of a mountain/lake scenery, but Daffy attempts to pose in front of it, much to Porky's annoyance. Daffy further heckles him by claiming to own the lake and proceeds to remove it from the painting before leaving. He quickly reappears as “the old man of the mountains”, and demands their removal too! Soon enough, Porky gets hold of his rifle, but the Sheriff (Daffy in another disguise) charges him for “shooting ducks out of season”, which is punishable by execution. However, Porky is saved by Pocahontas, who is yet again Daffy.
Later, Porky gives up painting and attempts to catch a fish, but Daffy challenges him by insisting that he shows him a fishing licence, which Porky produces. Upon another request, Porky shows Daffy his dog licence, and also a licence to sell hair tonic to bald eagles in Omaha, Nebraska. But alas, no marriage licence. After spurning Daffy's “proposal”. Porky decides to drive home, but his car won't start. After witnessing Daffy imitating the engine after stripping it out, Porky forces Daffy to literally become one (and being subjected to a “manual choke” at regular intervals). Daffy declares that he shouldn't be treated this way, but Porky produces a permit that tells him otherwise!
