Synopsis

Daffy constantly goes crazy from thirst in the middle of the desert, forever giving himself fits of delusions. He finds a gold nugget, and keeps encountering a packrat who's willing to trade water for the gold. Daffy refuses, but, after a long while, the sun reduces him to powder, and he finally acquiesces when the rat restores him to normal with a drop of water. Then, Daffy is deluged in water from the neck down due to a sudden, unexpected thunderstorm! "One thing you gotta admit," Daffy says, "when I buy water, I sure get my money's worth!

I could draw a better mouse than that one in the cartoon...anyway, the jokes are funny, the hallucinations are different in that the audience doesn't see them at all throughout (saves on drawing them, right?) and a happy ending. No idea how Daffy Duck got stuck in the desert in the first place...

Nice little parable about greed. A tour de force performance by Daffy (as usual).
