The Scarlet Pumpernickel
Directed by Chuck Jones
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Cartoons
A gleefully anarchic cartoon romp where Daffy Duck pitches an absurd swashbuckler script, using rapid-fire gags and slapstick to parody both the genre and Hollywood itself.
Daffy tries to sell movie studio head J.L. his script for a swashbuckler set in Merry Olde England, a plot involving a maiden in distress, a scheming Chamberlain, an evil Grand Duke and a dashing masked hero (to be played by Daffy, of course).
