Yosemite Sam and his identical twin, both suffering from severe hunger while trapped in a snowbound cabin, succumb to hallucinations, seeing each other as food. Their frenzy is interrupted by the arrival of Daffy Duck, masquerading as a door-to-door salesman. Intent on making him their meal, the two starving men relentlessly pursue him throughout the cabin. But after moments of pursuit, Daffy unveils his true purpose: selling cookbooks complete with a complimentary turkey dinner, which he presents before hastily departing. However, just as the Sams prepare to indulge, a swarm of mice emerges, swiftly devouring the feast.
Facing further disappointment, the Sams encounter Daffy once more, offering after-dinner mints. Overwhelmed by hunger, they seize Daffy and pull him inside, prompting the duck's resigned acknowledgment to the audience ("Well, here we go again") before being dragged back into the cabin, concluding the chaotic cycle.
Production notes
Along Came Daffy stands as one of two Warner Bros. shorts alongside Honey's Money (1962), where Yosemite Sam diverges from his usual pairing with Bugs Bunny. Notably, the cartoon includes a scene where Daffy briefly mimics Bugs by engaging in "carrot chewing" and uttering a modified version of Bugs's iconic catchphrase, "What's up, Doc?" This narrative structure revisits the theme of two characters endeavoring to consume Daffy, originally depicted in Daffy's Southern Exposure (1942).
