The main character and a few of the film's scenarios were developed from sketches and webcomics Hertzfeldt did in 1999-2000 for his website while working on other film projects. The film tells the story of Bill, whose daily routines, perceptions, and dreams are illustrated onscreen via multiple split-screen windows. Though his life seems mundane at first, he has trouble remembering things and the sights and sounds of the world are sometimes overwhelming. His life is narrated in several humorous and dramatic anecdotes, very gradually growing darker and terrifying as he appears to be suffering from a possibly fatal mental disorder (and has apparently been receiving treatment for it for quite some time). The split-screen windows and layered audio tracks slowly battle for attention on screen and begin to smother Bill. The film illustrates the struggle many people have with mental illness, in the inherent difficulty in deciding which muddled thought or distracted perception is most important and should be paid attention to. Meanwhile, Bill is suddenly faced with the possible end of his life.

A stick figure toddler (presumably named Billy) is repeatedly attacked by his red balloon. No explanation for how or why the balloon is doing so is ever given. Similar events are shown to be occurring with other children as the short progresses. The story is a considered response to the French film director Albert Lamorisse's 1956 featurette Le ballon rouge.

Aspiring stuntman DJ Drake is asked to escort Daffy off the studio lot, but the ensuing chase leads to the Batmobile demolishing the studio water tower. DJ is fired, and returns home with Daffy hitching a ride, discovering his father and action star Damian Drake is actually a secret agent. Damian instructs his son to travel to Las Vegas, find his associate Dusty Tails, and gain the mystical Blue Monkey diamond before being captured by the Acme Corporation, led by the childish Mr. Chairman. DJ and Daffy head for Vegas. Meanwhile, Bugs' routines fall apart without Daffy, so V.P. for Comedy, Kate Houghton, is sent to rehire Daffy or face being fired herself.

Le cartoon commence avec Daffy Duck déguisé en mousquetaire dans le lieu approprié. Lorsqu'il avance vers la gauche, le décor n'est pas fini. Daffy sort discrètement de l'écran puis revient et brise le quatrième mur en demandant qui est responsable du cartoon et demande de redessiner ce décor, le résultat est une ferme, obligeant Daffy à se déguiser en fermier. Il chante jusqu'à revoir le décor en blanc. Il redemande au quatrième mur « Est-ce qu'il sera trop de vous demander de vous décider une bonne fois pour toutes ? », puis des décors respectivement enneigés, hawaïens, une colorisation par erreur sur Daffy (Daffy ayant demander de colorier une ville sans la préciser), un décor où Daffy est en marin, un gros plan malcompris par le dessinateur et une mine que Daffy frappe accidentellement le poussent à demander qui est le dessinateur, qui s'avère être Bugs Bunny.
