Detailed summary

Memorable quotes

Casper: Gee, am I hungry. I could eat a saber-toothed tiger... Well, anyway, half a one.


Casper: Gosh, that duck acts like he's crazy.
Daffy: That is correct! That is absolutely, 100 percent correct!


Daffy: Not bad for a guy that never took a lesson in his life. Hoo-hoo!


Daffy: You know, maybe that wasn't such a hot idea after all!
Casper: Good night, folks.
