Running time
Duck Soup to Nuts is a 1944 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng.[1] The cartoon was released on May 27, 1944, and stars Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.[2]
Plot
Daffy Duck enjoys a tranquil moment among mallards in a pond until a gunshot startles them. The ducks scatter as Porky Pig enters, aiming at Daffy. However, Daffy outsmarts Porky, showcasing his talents and asserting his identity as more than a mere duck.
Despite Porky's attempts to apprehend him, Daffy continuously evades capture, resorting to humorous tactics like pretending to be a fish and labeling Porky as an eagle. Porky's efforts to shoot Daffy are futile, culminating in a comical farewell scene orchestrated by Daffy.
Porky ultimately refrains from harming Daffy, displaying a sense of moral integrity. Yet, the supposed family bidding farewell to Daffy turns out to be his friends in disguise, leading to a chaotic conclusion as Porky resumes his pursuit with a shotgun.
