Synopsis

The Pink Panther goes out of his way to protect a toy duck which follows him everywhere. Walking along the street, the Panther passes a man who is trying to sell wind-up toy ducks. One of them tries to follow, and the Panther hides in an alley. The little quacker finds him. He puts a garbage can over the quacker, and it escapes and follows him home. The Pink Panther puts the quacker in a package and mails it off to Japan. Days later, he looks in his mailbox: there's a package addressed to him in Japanese. The quacker is back. In defeat, the Panther puts the quacker on a leash and takes it proudly on a walk through the park. A mother duck and some little ducks pass by, and the little quacker runs away and joins them. Again, in despair, the Pink Panther looks out through his window at summer turning to fall and fall turning to the winter snow. Then there's a knock at the door: to his delight, the little quacker is back. Then it's followed by a lot of other little quackers...
