 Tired of comedy roles, Daffy Duck sells studio chief J.L. on a 2,000-page script to a swashbuckling adventure in 18th century England. The adventure involves The Scarlet Pumpernickel, a good-natured desperado who covets the hand of Lady Melissa, the ward of the evil Lord High Chamberlain. The Lord High Chamberlain decides to lure Scarlet into a trap by forcing the marriage of Lady Melissa to The Grand Duke, which leads to a wild chase and sword fight. Daffy s script calls for miscasting such as Sylvester Cat as The Grand Duke and Porky Pig as Lord High Chamberlain and even at 2,000 pages the script isn t finished when Daffy makes his pitch, forcing him to improvise an apocalyptic ending that leaves him muttering about the difficulty of selling a story in Hollywood.
