[1] It first aired April 1, 1980 on NBC as part of the Daffy Duck's Easter Egg-Citement special.
[2] The story was co-written by Tony Benedict, John Dunn, and Friz Freleng.
The flock leader informs Daffy that he is out of formation and questions him about not having any duck's instinct.
Daffy strays from the flock and makes a rough 3-point landing onto a haystack (with a pitchfork temporary pointed on his tail.)
Daffy tries hitchhiking, without success at first; he tries again, only to get the attention of a car full of duck hunters and their dogs.
The duck, wearing a pair of skis, throws a grappling hook onto an incoming car's rear fender; giving him a ride of his life until gravity begins to drag him into another pond.
Note: the running gag of a cartoon character trying to ride an uncooperative horse only to fail and have the horse laugh at him, also appears in the Pink Panther cartoon Pinto Pink.
