Based on the 1953 theatrical cartoon, the player takes control of Daffy Duck and explores five fictional planets and saves the Earth.

The player controls Duck Dodgers as he must go around five planets to collect all the energy atoms, and defeat Marvin's Henchmen.

Daffy has two moves, a kick and a jumping stomp, although in some levels the player is given a ray gun which either kills or stuns an enemy.

Upon the demonstration of the weapon, a slight snag hinders Marvin from completing his devious deed.

This ultimately has Dodgers and his sidekick, Cadet, trekking to four different planets, including a large pirate ship, to obtain the upper-hand over Marvin.
