My fellow Americans: It is our pleasure, our honor, our duty as citizens to present to you Duck for President. Here is a duck who began in a humble pond. Who worked his way to farmer. To governor. And now, perhaps, to the highest office in the land. Some say, if he walks like a duck and talks like a duck, he is a duck. We say, if he walks like a duck and talks like a duck, he will be the next president of the United States of America. Thank you for your vote.
A beautiful mandarin duck is captured and caged by a greedy lord who wants to show off the bird's magnificent plumage. But the wild creature pines for his mate. When Yasuko, the kitchen maid, releases the bird against her lord's command, she and the one-eyed servant, Shozo, are sentenced to death. The grateful bird intends to return their kindness, but can he outsmart the cruel lord?
A fowl tempered Duck, who does not care for Bugs Bunny. They're often seen as rivals, enemies or even friends should the occasion call for it. However Daffy most of the time does not care for Bugs, even going as far as trying to trick Elmer into believing it is Rabbit Season just to get rid of Bugs (one of his more classic tricks)........which nearly always ends with Daffy getting shot.
