Plot
General Daffy is commanding Army Post No. 13 on the frontier, and his troops are a sorry lot. Soldier Porky refuses to get out of his bed—that is, until Daffy comes in and eventually destroys it. 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." However, Daffy stumbles once again as he walks away, and again begins spitting out bullets uncontrollably, as we iris out.
Slightly Daffy
Friz Freleng remade the cartoon in Technicolor and released June 17, 1944 under the name Slightly Daffy. Unlike the remakes directed by Clampett, the short is mostly a frame-by-frame remake. However, it features new voice recording, a few new animated scenes, and re-orchestrated music. The Blue Ribbon reissue is approximately 49 seconds shorter than the original cartoon.
