In a bitterly cold landscape, a migrating group of birds traces a southbound arc across a pale sky, and among them a weary Daffy Duck doubts whether he can make it to the warmer ground ahead. The harsh weather gnaws at him until he veers off course and crash-lands on the farm of Elmer Fudd, who wears his hunter’s attire like a trap waiting to spring.
