General Daffy is commanding a fort, and his troops are a sorry lot, the sorriest easily being Porky, who refuses to get out of his bed—that is, until Daffy comes in and breaks the bed. Soon a tribe of Indians launches an attack on the fort on horseback. Porky sees them approaching, and tells the other sleeping soldiers. The last "soldier" in line is an Indian with a tomahawk. An Indian drinks "Fire Water" and spits fire, carving an Indian-shaped hole in the front of the fort. A short Indian uses a bow-leg of a tall Indian to fire arrows while another Indian keeps score. Porky then switches to pistols, and calls for bullets. While running toward Porky to satisfy his request, Daffy stumbles, resulting in him swallowing the box of bullets, then spitting them in defense of the fort. Porky thinks quickly and is able to drive off the Indian invaders, who carve into a mountain, "Yanks Beat Indians 11-3" before retreating. After the battle, Daffy is relieved and says, "I'm sure that's glad that's over with." However, Daffy stumbles once again, and spits out the remaining bullets.

Porky abandons the cannon for pistols, and soon calls for more bullets. Daffy, loaded down with ammunition and running toward Porky, stumbles, resulting in Daffy swallowing a large quantity of bullets, and begins firing them off through his mouth, uncontrollably.

However, Daffy stumbles once again as he walks away, and again begins spitting out bullets uncontrollably, as the cartoon irises out.

This cartoon was remade in [[Technicolor]] and released June 17, 1944 under the name ''Slightly Daffy''. Unlike the remakes directed by Clampett, the short is a frame-by-frame remake. However, it features new voice recordings for the characters, and reuses fight gags from [[Johnny Smith and Poker-Huntas]], directed by Tex Avery. The Blue Ribbon reissue of the short is approximately 49 seconds shorter than the original one directed Clampett.

Soon a tribe of Indians launches an attack on the post on horseback. Porky sees them approaching, and attempts to awaken the other sleeping soldiers. Among the subsequent gags are: An Indian drinks "fire water" and spits fire, carving an Indian-shaped hole in the front of the fort, then walks through it; a short Indian uses the bow-leg of a taller Indian to shoot arrows; and a soldier shoots over the wall at the enemy, keeping score to the tune of "Ten Little Indians." Porky abandons the cannon for pistols, and soon calls for more bullets. Daffy, loaded down with ammunition and running toward Porky, stumbles, resulting in Daffy swallowing a large quantity of bullets, and begins firing them off through his mouth, uncontrollably. Taking the situation in hand, Porky uses Daffy as a machine gun, finally driving off the Indian invaders, who carve into a hillside, "Yanks Beat Indians 11-3" as they retreat. The battle now concluded, Daffy is relieved, saying, "I'm sure that's glad that's over with."
