Am I the only one who finds Freleng's cartoons a bit unimaginative. True they are solid but they tend to descend to repetition very easily. Sometimes the plot isn't strong enough.
Anyway the cartoon takes place on a farm and Porky, the farmer discovers that Daffy has laid a golden egg ( he is actually conned into doing so) This leads to a news furor and Rocky the ganagster ( it's one of his first appearances) kidnaps Daffy and forces him to lay another golden egg.
In order to stall the process Daffy starts to ask for luxurious demands, which Rocky complies. However after a while he gets fed up and gives Daffy five minutes to lay an egg. To Daffy's surprise he actually manages.
Then the camera pans and we see loads of empty egg cartons and Rocky tells Daffy to fill them up.
It's a typical Freleng cartoon. Good on the whole but no pizazz or anything really special. The version of Rocky presented here is the definite version. Daffy doesnt really have much of a character either. Funnily enough in researching this cartoon, most reviews were incredibly scant and on re watching the cartoon I have tried to plump it out a bit but it's very difficult to as there's no hidden meanings or anything like that. In other words it's Freleng all over.
