Plot
In "Kaintucky", the Martins and McCoys, families consisting of different animals, feud and shoot over the boundary line between their territory. This ends when their leaders, Petunia Pig and Porky Pig, decide to sign a non-aggression pact, partially because they have fallen in love with each other. Ducks and geese struggle to face a future of peace and unity, alternating between peacefully tolerating each other's company and beating up each other. Petunia leads Porky into the Martins' home as they sing merrily. To their horror, the ducks and geese instigate another feud, so Porky rushes home to retrieve a "feud pacifier" grenade, which magically ends the feud permanently. Able to continue their relationship safely, Porky and Petunia kiss.[5]
