His Bitter Half

Daffy learns that a refined lady duck with a high income is seeking someone to marry. After the requisite courtship and marriage, Daffy looks forward to a life of luxury. However, the lady duck, whose personality is as domineering as her size, immediately orders Daffy to do the housework. After an afternoon of exhausting tasks, he is startled by the appearance of the lady duck's rambunctious son Wentworth, whom Daffy wants nothing to do with.

After being scalped playing cowboys and Indians, Daffy is made to take Wentworth to the amusement park after being shown the bank book. At the amusement park, Daffy tries his luck at a shooting gallery, but each time he takes a shot, Wentworth uses a slingshot to bean the back of the barker's head, who angrily socks Daffy without even bothering to look from behind. His disgusted wife assumes that Daffy is "fried to the gills" and orders him to go to bed, since he has got to help Wentworth shoot off fireworks on the Fourth of July. The holiday begins with Daffy taking the brunt of a fireworks mishap, followed by Wentworth disguising himself as a lit firecracker. Daffy, wanting to teach the brat a lesson, thinks he has found him and begins to discipline him, only to see the disguised Wentworth racing by, just seconds before the firecracker explodes.

The lady duck then demands that Daffy take Wentworth to the zoo. Despite a threat from his wife to pluck every feather from Daffy's body if he refuses, Daffy stands his ground and instead walks out through the door with packed suitcases in hand, retorting that no one is gonna tell him what to do. However, his body (below the shoulders) has been stripped clean of feathers, just as the lady duck had promised. Nevertheless, he leaves and does not look back.
