A gleefully anarchic cartoon where slapstick chaos and physical comedy reign as a scheming host gets repeatedly clobbered by his own game-show contraptions.

Quiz-show contestant Porky is the one who's supposed to be penalized each time he misses a question, but host Daffy is the one who winds up getting safes and boulders dropped on him and deluged by torrents of water.
