Biography[]
The cartoon takes place a town called Hangtree, Texas, as shown on a sign (HANGTREE, TEXAS: A REAL SWINGIN' TOWN POP. 22; 21 after a noise is heard), Daffy Duck was poor and begging for charity when he saw a notice that Mayor Katt was hiring gunslingers for $15 per week. After speaking to the mayor, Daffy agreed to catch Speedy Gonzales, "the fastest mouse in all Mexico" at the United States/Mexican border.
After a series of wacky hi-jinx, Daffy finally manages to capture Speedy when the mouse takes pity on him and offers assistance.
The Duck returned Speedy to Mayor Katt, who gave him only fifty-six and a quarter cents, as Daffy only worked an hour and a half. Daffy, enraged at having no tip, promptly released Speedy. The Mayor beat Daffy senseless for calling him a cheapskate and releasing Speedy, then kicks the now-injured Daffy back on the streets, as the duck promptly starts begging again, ending the cartoon.
Notes[]
