Daffy climbs into Porky's engine, throws out the engine and closes the hood. Porky tries starting the car, but gets Daffy's stalled motor sound.

Porky 'starts' the car again, pulling on the 'choke' lever, which causes a mechanical arm to pop out and choke Daffy, who is now wired in to the car and is powering it. Daffy mentions that Porky has absolutely no right to do this—until yet another license pops out, showing that Porky does, indeed, have a license to use Daffy as a motor!

Censorship
- Cartoon Network temporarily aired this cartoon with the entire Pocahontas scene removed after Porky is ostensibly sentenced to a beheading. When this cartoon aired on a weekend showing of "The Acme Hour" in 2002, the Pocahontas scene was shown uncut and was shown that way on other installment shows ever since http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/ltcuts/ltcutsb.html
- The ABC airing of this cartoon not only cut the Pocahontas sequence, but also cut out several shots of Daffy being strangled when he is being used as Porky's car engine. http://looney.goldenagecartoons.com/ltcuts/ltcutsb.html
