, the two hungry men start to hallucinate and see each other as food due to extreme starvation.

Daffy Duck turns up as a door-to-door salesman. Upon realizing he is a duck, the two Sams chase Daffy all over the cabin, to try to turn him into a duck dinner. Eventually Daffy is able to explain that he is selling cookbooks, and happens to have a complimentary turkey dinner in his sample case. He lays out the spread and makes a quick exit as the famished Sams sit down to eat.

Before the two Sams can take a bite, a hoard of hungry mice dash from out of the woodwork and strip the turkey clean in a few seconds. At the point of despair, they hear another knock on the door. Daffy is there again, offering some after-dinner mints. The two Sams grab him and pull him inside. Daffy is able to stick his head out the door for a moment and tell the audience, "Well, here we go again!" He then gets yanked back inside and the door closes to a black-out that ends the cartoon.

Censorship

• The version shown on the defunct WB! network edited the part where one of the Yosemite Sam brothers blasts at the Daffy Duck decoys to remove the part where the real Daffy Duck is the only one left and the Yosemite Sam brother shoots at Daffy point blank, leaving Daffy in a bikini made of his own feathers once the smoke clears http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/ltcuts/ltcutsa.html.
