La chasse aux canards est ouverte. Daffy vole paresseusement dans le ciel et se moque des chasseurs qui le rate (« tir loupé »). Mais après une ultime bravade, il se fait tirer sur le croupion. Il joue le mourant, puis tombe comme un avion en flammes pour s'écraser au sol. Le chien d'Elmer, Laramore, veut le ramener à son maître. Soudain, Daffy se réveille alors que le chien le prend dans sa gueule. Daffy lui reproche sa brutalité et lui rend la pareille : il prend violemment le chien à son tour dans son bec. Après cette leçon, il ouvre la gueule du chien et s'y place de lui-même. Laramore rapporte le canard à Elmer, qui se félicite d'être un grand chasseur « sportif ». Daffy se révolte contre cette affirmation. Il commence par faire pleurer Elmer sur son sort de pauvre canard sans défense, puis lui reproche de manquer de fair-play. Il échange les rôles, lui prend son fusil, puis ses vêtements. Emporté dans sa verve à démontrer qu'il est sans défense face au chasseur, il « ouvre » ses plumes, mais on s'aperçoit qu'il porte un gilet pare-balles dessous ! Malgré cela, Daffy défit Elmer en un « vrai » sport fair-play : un match de boxe. Ce match est en fait organisé par tous les canards du lac amis de Daffy et est complètement truqué. Le chien, seul supporter d'Elmer, se fait copieusement lapider par la foule des canards qui huent son maître Elmer. L'arbitre, un gros canard soi-disant impartial, se moque d'Elmer et glorifie Daffy. Sous prétexte de montrer les coups interdits dans le règlement, il bourre Elmer de ces coups, et Daffy fait de même. Daffy joue au jeu de la devinette avec son opposant, et Elmer y « gagne » un coup de masse sur la tête. L'arbitre en profite pour déclarer Daffy vainqueur. Elmer, encore sous le choc, se venge cependant en reproduisant l'arnaque des « coups interdits » sur Daffy et l'arbitre.

Finstock's hope is that Todd has the family genes to become a werewolf and turn Finstock's new struggling boxing team into championship contenders. Having never been much good at sports, and because he is more interested in being a veterinarian, Todd is certain that Finstock has the wrong guy. During a meet and greet reception of school alumni, Todd has his first "wolf-out" while dancing with a seductive hostess. At first, Todd is horrified by his "family affliction", and fellow students begin to harass him. Then, during his first boxing match, after nearly getting knocked out, Todd has his second "wolf-out" only this time he is able to display his supernatural agility and strength and has a dramatic come from behind victory, thus earning the admiration of the students as well as the strict Dean Dunn (John Astin).

Boxer and amateur pilot Joe Pendleton (Robert Montgomery), affectionately known as "the Flying Pug", flies his small aircraft to his next fight in New York City, but crashes when a control cable severs. His soul is "rescued" by 7013 (Edward Everett Horton), an officious angel who assumed that Joe could not have survived. Joe's manager, Max "Pop" Corkle (James Gleason), has his body cremated. In the afterlife, the records show his death was a mistake; he was supposed to live for 50 more years. The angel's superior, Mr. Jordan (Claude Rains), confirms this, but since there is no more body, Joe will have to take over a newly dead corpse. Mr. Jordan explains that a body is just something that is worn, like an overcoat; inside, Joe will still be himself. Joe insists that it be someone in good physical shape, because he wants to continue his boxing career. Joe keeps saying the body they find "has to be in the pink".
