During World War Two, Daffy Duck owns a junkyard which collects scrap metal to use in building weapons to continue the Allied fight against the Axis powers. Hitler reads about Daffy's scrap pile and about Daffy's stated intent to win the war with junk and, after throwing a fit and chewing a carpet like a mad dog, orders Daffy's scrap pile destroyed.

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
JohnHowardReid CAST: Daffy Duck, Nazi Goat. Director: FRANK TASHLIN. Story: Don Christensen. Animator: Arthur Davis. Music director: Carl W. Stalling. Voice characterizations: Mel Blanc. Producer: Leon Schlesinger. Not copyrighted. A Warner Bros Looney Tunes cartoon. U.S. release: 21 August 1943. 1 reel. 8 minutes. COMMENT: I've alays wanted to view one of Frank Tashlin's cartoons, and this most inventively drawn and stylized entry has all the characteristics of inventiveness and whimsy we expect of Frank Tashlin at his best. Despite the fact that the primary reason for the cartoon's existence is its blatant propaganda message, Tashlin's approach is so appealing it still wins out over the script's simple-minded jingoism. And I just love Daffy's transformation into Super American Duck!
MartinHafer This was a public service film designed to encourage Americans to save scrap for the war effort. While the cartoon was made by Looney Toons and featured Daffy Duck, since it wasn't an official release and wasn't intended as a money-maker, it was made in black and white (a common practice at the time). Despite it not being in color, the cartoon is high quality--with excellent writing and animation.Daffy's scrap drive is making Hitler nervous, so he sends orders that this pile must be destroyed. It all looks bad for poor Daffy when he's attacked--at which time he makes a very funny remark about how he wished he had a can of spinach (a reference to Popeye). But, in the end, Super-Daffy comes to the rescue and the world is made safe from Nazi tyranny! Huzzah! As a cartoon, it's pretty good. But as a public service announcement intended to encourage Americans to help with the war effort it is stellar, as it's very effective yet not preachy or dull.
emasterslake One of the many WW2 looney tunes that don't air on TV.This is a black and white short of Daffy Duck telling every one to recycle anything that's alumna, metal, tin, for the war.His job is to be sure the USA gets all that Scrap Metal to win the war.But when it comes to Nazis and Metal Eating Goats that can be a problem.It's up to Daffy Duck to save all that Scrap Metal.If you like Daffy Commandos, you'll like this one as well.It's a real fine treat from the WW2 era.Even has Hitler acting crazy.
Robert Reynolds This cartoon, appropriately and effectively in black and white, is a World War II patriotic short, with Daffy needing to protect his scrap pile (for the war effort) from a very hungry Nazi goat. The pep rally conducted by Daffy's ancestors is a highlight of the short and the ending is marvelous. Well worth the time and effort to find. Most highly recommended.
