Plot[]

Gag #1 (Baboon)[]

Porky Pig attempts to ask Daffy Duck, who is working as a balloon salesman, for one balloon. Due to Porky's lengthy stuttering, Daffy assumes he is asking for one baboon and gives him a grotesque one. Porky becomes terrified and gets attacked by the baboon. Daffy tells the audience that Porky is lucky because it was the last baboon he had.

Gag #2 (Everything Pops)[]

Porky Pig asks Daffy Duck, who is working as a balloon salesman, for one balloon. Daffy doesn't respond, and Porky continues to try talking to him. He decides to try to touch him, but Daffy pops. After touching Daffy's balloon cart, it also pops. Then, the helium bottle, the balloons, the trees, and the chairs pop. The buildings start floating and popping. The ground starts shaking, and suddenly, everything pops. Daffy suddenly appears, blaming Porky for wanting to have a balloon, and then Porky exclaims, "Oh, dear."

Gag #3 (Porky's Head)[]

Porky Pig asks Daffy Duck, who is working as a balloon salesman, for one balloon. Unfortunately, Daffy says he ran out of balloons, but Porky persuades him that he needs one because he promised to give his nephew one. Daffy suggests that there is one thing he can do to him. He kicks his balloon cart to get out an air pipe and inflates Porky's head. Porky begins to float off from the ground. Daffy grasps Porky's head, squeezes it into a balloon, and ties a knot around it. Daffy asks Porky to pay one dollar for the balloon. While searching for a dollar, Porky lets go of his balloon and get blown away by a gust of wind. After finding his one dollar note, a shocked Porky notices his head floating away and chases after it. Daffy gazes at Porky chasing his balloon and picks up the dollar he left behind.
