- Daffy Duck is a Wild West outlaw named "The Masked Avenger", righter of wrongs and doer of heroic deeds. Porky Pig is his sidekick. Together, they search for Nasty Canasta, a villain whose crimes include gag-stealing and square dancing in a round house. When they find Canasta's hideout and Daffy challenges Canasta to a duel, Canasta flexes his hulky muscles that entirely rip away his shirt, and proceeds to pound Daffy into a stupor.—Kevin McCorry <mmccorry@nb.sympatico.ca>
- As the film begins, the Masked Avenger (Daffy) and his guitar-playing, donkey-riding Comedy Relief (Porky) are riding through the desert. Daffy stops his horse, Tinfoil, and observes a Wanted poster for a criminal named Nasty Canasta. He decides to track Canasta down and bring him to justice, for a healthy sum of $10,000.
Daffy tracks Canasta to his hideout, a small shack in the middle of nowhere. He tells Porky that he is going to "fix his little red wagon", and barges inside. Daffy's ranting and raving does not bother Canasta, who is sitting at a table playing cards. Daffy exits, and re-emerges as the "Frisco Kid", threatening to whip Canasta. Instead, Daffy gets tangled in his whip when he uses it. He leaves, and re-emerges as "Superguy", but Canasta is still unfazed.
Giving up, Daffy decides to join Canasta in his game of cards. He takes all but one of the cards in the deck, and gets "a royal straight flush full house with four aces high", but he is beaten by Canasta's single card-- a three of clubs. Daffy is then bested in an arm wrestling match by Canasta, and also accidentally fires his own revolver at himself.
At this moment, Porky comes in and says, "Why don't you plain old arrest him?" Daffy agrees, and decides to carry this out. Canasta snaps the handcuffs Daffy puts on him without difficulty, and will not budge from his spot no matter how much Daffy tries to coax him to move.
Daffy gives up, and gets into a fist fight with Canasta. Canasta is much, much stronger than Daffy is, and wins the fight with no effort. Daffy stumbles out of the house, saying, "I told you I'd fix his little red wagon," and wheeling a little red wagon behind him, commenting on its former state of disrepair. He mutters, "Now I'm going home to mother." Iris out.
