Premise
Daffy agrees to hide a turkey named Tom Turk from Porky Pig, until he learns that Porky Pig is planning to serve the turkey for dinner, then turns stool pigeon. Porky mistakes Daffy for a turkey. Daffy defeats Porky with a block of ice. Daffy builds an icy bridge. Porky gives a toll man 10 cents. What Porky does not notice is that the toll man is actually Daffy, and when Porky stops, words appear on screen: DUNCE, DOPE, SUCKER. Daffy begs Tom to hide him. Daffy repeatedly says Here and There as the cartoon ends.
