PlotElmer Fudd plays a cupid (still wearing his trademark hat) shooting arrows at male animals so they fall in love with the next female they see, even if of a different species (e.g., a dog falls in love with a cat he's chasing, making the cat commit suicide using a gun, making all of his nine lives die). This cartoon features Daffy singing the 1944 Lawrence Welk hit song "Don't Sweetheart Me". Elmer tries to shoot Daffy Duck while bathing in a water trough. Daffy complains of the last time he was shot, which ended with him being forced into marriage and the father of many ducklings (including Siamese Twins), producing photos of them. Daffy stuffs Elmer into his own hat and shoots him away with his own bow. Determined not to give up, Elmer shoots a giant arrow to Daffy, crashing through several henhouses and Daffy falls in love with a married hen. Her rooster husband furiously confronts Daffy. The duck declares it a mishap, claiming to be a family man himself (briefly appearing with a jalopy full of the previously mentioned ducklings). The rooster lets Daffy go, but Elmer shoots him yet again, starting the whole process over again. NotesVoice actingElmer is ordinarily voiced by Arthur Q. Bryan, but since the character has no dialogue in this cartoon, Mel Blanc was told to go ahead and imitate Bryan's Elmer laugh. However, Blanc did not like to imitate, thinking that it was stealing a voice from another actor.[2] Lost endingWhen this cartoon was reissued, a blue ribbon title card appeared in the credits and an ending scene is believed to have been removed. Theories speculate the cartoon originally had the special ending theme before the Blue Ribbon reissue rather than a fade out. This can only be proven with an original print.[3] According to historian Greg Ford, the original ending involved Daffy, stuck between a hen and a rooster kissing. Daffy is turned to face the rooster, who he is kissing. Daffy then faces the audience, saying "If you haven't tried it, don't knock it."[4] Availability
