In the film, Daffy and Porky own rival hotels in the western frontier.
Plot
editOn the western frontier, Daffy Duck works as a janitor in Porky Pig's hotel, the Bristle Inn. Disgruntled with his job, Daffy quits and builds his own hotel, the Duck Inn Tavern, across from Porky's, but struggles to attract guests despite flashy signs. After a failed robbery at his hotel, Daffy tries to compete with Porky's successful vaudeville show by impersonating a woman. His ruse fails, leading him to join forces with Porky, who refuses. In a botched attempt to intimidate Porky, Daffy accidentally destroys his own hotel.
Daffy tries to sabotage Porky's hotel by planting dynamite under the floor, but inadvertently helps Porky strike it rich by setting of an oil gusher. Porky relocates his hotel to a better site, offering Daffy a job. Accepting, Daffy is given the opportunity to clean up, being assigned an office which is a closet full of brooms.
