Plot[]
An old friend of Speedy's, a crow named Crow, sits alone just outside of a cornfield as he hungers, Speedy comes across him, first telling him not to steal any corn, but upon hearing of how he's starving suggests it'd be okay to steal one after all, Crow however does not want to intrude as he's afraid of the scare crow. Speedy tries to show him that it is nothing to worry about, however after being shot at he soon realizes that's it's not just the scarecrow that worries him, but rather whose inside, the trigger-happy farmer Daffy Duck. Despite the danger, Speedy promises that he will get Crow something to eat.
First they try sneaking in, but are spotted by Daffy in a helicopter, who lands down and starts to open fire on Crow, until Speedy turns on the thresher, having landed on it's conveyor belt Daffy is pulled in, and his helicopter crushed into a skateboard and propeller-hat.
Next Speedy and Crow fly overhead and try to steal the corn by dive bombing it, however Daffy knew they'd do this and planted iron corn which they slam into. He also planted dynamite to finish them off, but it backfires, blowing him up instead.
Unexpectedly as they plan their next attack, Daffy calls Speedy over, offering him all the corn he can eat to get rid of Crow, Speedy refuses to sell out his friend. Daffy then calls over Crow, offering him all the corn he can eat to get rid of Speedy, to which he happily agrees. Crow lays Speedy (Who due to their friendship is okay with being killed) on the chopping block, but can't get himself to do it. Daffy decides to finish the job himself, at first Crow is unwilling to let him hurt Speedy, but upon being offered the entire cornfield in exchange, allows it. As Daffy chases Speedy, he realizes that while he was away Crow took over his field and is kicking him out, Speedy is at first relived by this, until he is told he isn't allowed inside either. Crow tries to this justify this betrayal by saying there's hardly enough for him and his friends as is, revealing a murder of crows.
Speedy is chased away by Daffy as he wonders "With friends like that loco crow, who needs enemies?"
