It's hunting season, and all the ducks are wisely staying undercover - apart from this freshly-hatched little duckling, who turns out to be more than a match for two inept would-be hunters....

The Plot: a couple of dogs chase a duck from sun up to sundown. So why is this such a great toon? Simple. It's FUNNY. Hysterically funny. One sight gag after another, for 7 whole minutes, without pause, without mercy. If Tex Avery was the king of sight gags (among other things) this has to be his masterpiece, his piece de resistance, his Mona Lisa. It's a real gem and I enjoy it as much now as ever.
