(A wave splashes Buster from behind)
Buster: "Or vice-versa."

After the text, reaches the end, the text, PRESENTS appears onscreen, followed by A PLUCK PRODUCTION OF, then, A PLUCKY DUCK FILM. PLUCKY DUCK'S appears onscreen as thunder booms and lightning flashes. The camera then cuts to the ocean, where the text, THE VOYAGE OF THE KON DUCKI zooms in onscreen. It is immediately followed by, starring PLUCKY DUCK as PLUCK HEYERDAHL, which scrolls upward to reveal, A FILM DIRECTED PRODUCED WRITTEN VISUALIZED CONCEIVED CHOREO-GRAPHED AND CATERED BY. The BY zooms in and the screen turns black as the text, PLUCKY DUCK appears onscreen. Scrolling below it is the text, ALSO FEATURING HAMTON J. PIG AS KOOM-BYE-YA. After the title sequence ends, the camera cuts to an overhead view of skyscraper, with a hut on its right side. The camera zooms in on the hut, revealing the words, THE EXPLORERS CLUB on the sign above the door. The camera cuts to the next scene, where, inside the hut, the members of the club have fallen asleep, then moves over to Plucky, who is dressed in a light purple suit and hat, and Hamton is sleeping next to him, wearing a wig, lei, and grass skirt.
Plucky: "And so, fellow adventurers, in summation..."
(The camera cuts to a close-up of Plucky)
Plucky: "Nice head noise. I, Pluck Heyerdahl, intent to authenticate my theory that my ancient ancestors did not, as previously believed, fly from the island of Yap to Salinas..."
(Plucky points at the map with a pointing stick. He moves it in a circular motion, ripping a hole in the map. The cut-out circle falls on Hamton, who awakens, and pulls it down on him as the camera moves back to Plucky)
Plucky: "But in fact, sailed there."

(The camera cuts to an overhead view of Plucky as Hamton lowers a model of the Earth (with him on it))
Plucky: "And I shall do it in 21 days! Let the adventure begin!"
(Plucky spins the model of the Earth, causing Hamton to fall off it and onto him. They both land on the audience. The camera cuts to the map of the Earth, with the cut-out circle taped back on as it zooms in on the Island of Yap. The camera cuts to the Island of Yap and Zooms in on it, showing Plucky's ship being assembled.)
Plucky: "The task of building the Kon Ducki proved to be arguous."
(The camera cuts to a close-up of Plucky, who makes it look like he is the one assembling his ship. The camera then cuts to a zoomed-out view, revealing that Plucky is sitting in a chair, trying to open a bottle of mango juice. The camera cuts to Hamton and Sweetie, who are trying to put the mast on the ship)
Plucky: "This is Koom-Bye-Ya." (The camera cuts to a close-up of Hamton) "My trusted companion, first mate, cook, navigator, and pillow fluffer." (The camera cuts to a close-up of Sweetie) "And this is Little Parrot, along for comic relief, and bemused bitter overused asides."
Sweetie: "Eh, it's a living." (Squawk) "Beware, a violent sight gag approaches."
(The camera cuts back to Hamton. His grass skirt falls down and he blushes in embarrassment. The camera zooms out to reveal the tour guide from the The Acme Acres Zone episode segment, A Bacon Strip drive by in his Acme Sightseeing Tours bus)
Tour Guide: "And to your left is a naked pig."
(With Hamton distracted, the mast begins to fall over. The camera cuts back to Plucky)
Plucky: "Ahhh, mango juice!"
(The mast falls on Plucky. The camera cuts back to Hamton, who has pulled his grass skirt back up.)
Hamton: "Captain Pluck, the mast's in place!"
(Hamton walks over to Plucky, and the camera cuts to the fallen mast)
Hamton: "Pluck? Captain Pluck? Hello?"
Plucky (wearily): "Koom-Bye-Ya, is that you?"
Hamton: "Yes, it's me. Where are you, Captain Pluck?"
Plucky: "Where do you think I am, Koom-Bye-Ya? Just take a tiny little guess!"
Hamton: "Oh, I know, sir. You're trapped under the mast!"
(Hamton lifts the mast, revealing a flattened Plucky. After lifting the mast, Hamton walks away)

Plucky: "And so, our unsinkable vessel met the sea."
(The Kon Ducki sinks, then it fades to the next scene, where Plucky and Hamton are on the ship, and as Plucky points to the sea, Hamton cuts the rope that release the Kon Ducki into the water (fortunately, it stays afloat this time). They begin to sail to Salinas, only to unknowingly sail in the wrong direction, as the Salinas are on the other side of the island, with two giant signs pointing the way. The boat continues to sail, then the camera cuts to Plucky sitting in a chair on top of the car)
Plucky: "Koom-Bye-Ya, do we have all the seventies items, that, like my ancestors, I've brought with me on this journey?"

(A huge shadow appears over Plucky)
Plucky: "Because I've just lost my appetite."

Sweetie: "Bingo!"
(The camera focuses on Sweetie as she jumps her way to the crow's nest. She presses the button, which moves it up the mast like an elevator. She then holds up a sign that says, TOLL CROSSING. A binocular view focuses on it, then on the Sailor's eyes. The Sailor removes the binoculars)

(The camera cuts to a view of the trunk of the car, with a television set inside. On the television set is a laughing cartoon mouse, who laughs as the Tiny Toon Adventures closing credits theme plays. Plucky jumps down and looks at the television set, then the camera cuts to a close-up of him)

Plucky: "Sailing from Yap to Salinas in 21 days?" (Cries) "I'll be laughed out of the explorer's club!"
(Plucky continues crying and hits the floorboards. He then runs off, and the camera focuses on the hood of the car. Plucky bangs his head on the hood repeatedly)
Plucky: "Shoot me! Shoot me now!"
(Plucky becomes dizzy from banging his head, and the camera focus on him as he walks dizzily, then falls over. Hamton walks to him)
Hamton: "You mustn't give up! Anything worth doing is worth trying! A bird in the hand has a stiff upper lip, and remember, nothing says lovin' like something from the oven!"
(Plucky cries, then stops)
Plucky: "You're right."
(The camera focuses on Plucky as he rises up)

(A wave splashes Plucky. He rises and spits out the water as lightning flashes and thunder booms. It rains on the ship)
Hamton: "Captain, I think we're heading into a storm!"
Plucky: "Pish-posh and nonsense! What gives you that idea?"
(The camera cuts to an overhead view of the ship as thunder booms and lightning flashes above it. The camera then zooms out to reveal a massive tidal wave, then cuts to a view of the stern of the ship as the tidal wave reveals the Wicked Witch of the East on a bicycle, with Toto in the basket. The camera then cuts back to Plucky and Hamton)
Plucky: "Ha, that's no storm!" (Plucky jumps in shock) "It's the end of the world!"
(Plucky jumps into Hamton's arms as the camera cuts to an overhead view of the ship. The tidal wave washes over the ship, which in the next scene, appears to be sunken. It resurfaces, and Plucky and Hamton run across it, bumping into each other. The camera cuts to a view of the car as Plucky jumps into it to take shelter. Unfortunately for him, the wind rips the car's body off its frames. A wave then washes over Plucky as the camera cuts to a starboard view of the ship. Waves toss the ship back and forth (including one that takes the form of a fist, and another in the form of a human), then the camera focuses on the ship as it gets tossed back onto the water. A wave tears the ship into pieces, and the camera focuses on Plucky, Hamton, and Sweetie, as they swim for their lives, holding onto a piece of wood from the ship. They get sucked down a whirlpool, and the camera cuts to the next scene, where the pieces of the ship are on the beach. The camera zooms in, then moves to Hamton and Sweetie, who awaken and look for Plucky)
Hamton: "Where's Captain Pluck? Captain Pluck! Captain Pluck!"
(Plucky rises from the sand, with a piece of the ship in his mouth, which he spits out. Hamton and Sweetie rush to his aid)
Plucky: "Phew! I'm sorry, men. we failed. I... I... I tried my best..." (He jumps on Hamton) "I really did..." (cries) "I'm a failure!" (He cries and bangs his head with his fists repeatedly, then grabs Hamton's face) "But to quote Frank Capra, 'No man is a failure who has friends'." (A bell dings) "Thank you, Clarence."
Hamton: "But Captain Pluck, we made it! We succeeded!"
(Sweetie points to her right side, and Plucky turns around. The camera cuts to an overhead view of the three, then moves to the carnival of Salinas, with a sign that says, WOW! WELCOME TO SALINAS. The text, DAY 21 appears under the sign. The camera cuts back to Plucky, Hamton, and Sweetie. Plucky drops Hamton and jumps into the air for joy)
Plucky: "I did it! Yahoo!" (laughs and hugs Hamton) "Wait till those pompous Explorer Club buffoons hear about this!"
(The camera focuses on Plucky as he runs to a rock and stands on it, then zooms in on him)

(The camera cuts to Plucky)
Plucky: "Look at my chair!"
Shirley (heard offscreen): "Pluggy Doug."
(The camera zooms out, revealing it is running as Plucky rants to Shirley)
Plucky: "How am I supposed to be a creative genius in a chair for 'Pluggy Doug'?" (Plucky smashes the chair and walks up to Shirley) "Are you insane? You simpleton! You..." (Plucky stops and realizes he is on camera. He then calms down) "Capable assistant, you. Please fix the chair, dear one." (Shirley walks away with the smashed chair as Plucky blows kisses to her) "Oh, the burden of brilliance. Did you get that?"

(The camera cuts to Plucky sitting in a chair as Fifi spins it around)
Buster: "So the beginning of each day involves a full eight hours of make-up."
(Fifi places two straws in Plucky's nostrils. She then runs offscreen and returns with a bucket of plaster, which she pours on Plucky's face.)
Buster: "A plaster mold is made of his face, and then carefully removed by a time-tested secret movie magic method."
(The camera cuts to a close-up of Plucky's face as Fifi is about to talk to him)
Fifi: "Monsieur director Plucky, someone has parked in your very private parking space!"
(The camera cuts to a further angle, where an angry Plucky emits steam from his nostrils, spins around, and splits the hardened mold in half)
Plucky: "What? Who? How dare! Who? Nobody parks in my space, nobody!"
(Fifi grabs the two halves of the mold. The camera cuts to a close-up of her)
Buster: "A latex mask is made from the mold."
(Fifi joins the two halves of the mold together, then reaches and grabs a bottle marked "Latex". Fifi squirts the latex into the mold, then removes half of the mold, revealing a mask of Plucky's face. She pulls out the mask, then the camera cuts back to Plucky)
Buster: "And finally, the high detailed mask is applied. Total time; eight hours."
(Fifi puts the mask on Plucky, then spins his chair around. When it stops, his face is revealed to be upside down. Fifi stares in shock)
Plucky: "But it's worth it to look like this, don't you think?"
(The camera cuts to the next scene, which takes place inside the costume department)
Buster: "Other cast members must wear a full costume that covers their entire body."

(The camera cuts to a close-up of Hamton, as Plucky pulls down his eyelids, revealing them to have "Nothing easy is" and "ever simple" written on them. The camera then cuts to a close-up of Plucky)
Plucky: "Ahem. Nothing easy is ever simple! We shall overcome obstacles, and... uh..."
(Plucky rushes offscreen. The camera cuts to Sweetie as Plucky ducks to her. She opens her mouth, revealing a piece of paper on her tongue, which Plucky reads over. The camera cuts back to a close-up of Plucky)
Plucky: "And laugh in their general..."
(The camera cuts to a close-up of Sweetie, with the piece of paper still on her tongue)
Plucky: "Uh, directions! Okay, cut!"
(Sweetie closes her mouth, chomping down on Plucky's finger. The camera cuts to Plucky, who screams in pain. The camera then cuts to the next scene, where Plucky is sitting in a chair, about to drink some mango juice)
Plucky: "Ahhh, mango juice!"
(The mast falls on Plucky. The camera then cuts to the next scene, where Plucky is in the studio. This time, his director's chair says, PLOOGY DOOG)
Plucky: "Stunt duck! Stunt duck!"
(The camera cuts to Hamton, who is dressing like Plucky as Pluck Heyerdahl)
Hamton: "Uh, uh... I'm not sure if I want to do this, P.D."
(Plucky walks up to Hamton)
Plucky: "Hamton, Babe, Swineheart, listen. Sure, I could use just any old stinky duck, but you, Babe, you are the only one, who can act."
Hamton: "You think so?"
Plucky: "I don't have to think! I'm the director!" (As he and Hamton walk towards the set) "You've got talent out the snout! Now, go get em'!" (To the viewers) "Sucker."
(The camera cuts to the next scene, with Plucky in his director's chair, as Hamton prepares to say his line)
Plucky: "Action!"
(The cameraman holds a clapper board, saying Act 1, Scene 1, Take 1, "Kon Ducky", P. Duck - Director. He claps the clapper board)
Hamton: "Ahhh, mango fruit!"
(The mast falls on Hamton. The camera then cuts to Plucky, who is not pleased with the take)
Plucky: "Cut! Cut cut cut cut, cut cut. Not 'fruit'. 'Juice'! Mango Juice! Let's do it again!" (He sits back down in his chair) "Action!"
(The cameraman holds a clapper board, saying Act 1, Scene 1, Take 2, "Kon Ducky", P. Duck - Director. He claps the clapper board. Hamton now has a lump on his head from the fallen mast)
Hamton: "Ahhh, mango drink!"
(The mast falls on Hamton)
Plucky (heard offscreen): "'Juice'! Mango juice!"
(The cameraman holds a clapper board, saying Act 1, Scene 1, Take 46, "Kon Ducky", P. Duck - Director. He claps the clapper board. Hamton now has two lumps on his head from the fallen mast)
Hamton: "Ahhh, mango liquid refreshment!"
(The mast falls on Hamton. The cameraman holds a clapper board, saying Act 1, Scene 1, Take 47, "Kon Ducky", P. Duck - Director. He claps the clapper board. Hamton now has three lumps on his head from the fallen mast.)
Hamton (dazed) "Ahhh, mango wango!"
(The mast falls on Hamton. The cameraman holds a clapper board, saying Act 1, Scene 1, Take 63, "Kon Ducky, P. Duck - Director. He claps the clapper board. Hamton's head is now spinning)
Hamton (dazed): "I'll take Charley Weaver to block!"
(The mast falls on the end of the chair, launching Hamton out of it and causing him to land on the floor next to a very angry Plucky)
Plucky: "You imbecile! You call yourself an actor? Gimme that!"
(He snatches the bottle, and walks up to the set, unaware of the trouble he's about to put himself in. The camera cuts to Plucky, who is about to sit in the chair)
Plucky: "You open the bottle and say," (Plucky opens the bottle) "'Ahhh, mango juice!'"
(The mast falls on Plucky. The camera cuts to a close-up of him)
Plucky: "Print that!"
(The camera fades to black, then cuts to the next scene, where Plucky is in the projection booth. He removes a film reel from the projector)
Plucky: "We did a tremendous amount of special effects for this movie."
(Plucky walks over to a model spaceship, which lights up)
Plucky: "If you added up all the effects from Close Encounters, E.T., and the Back to the Future movies, you'd have a very large number. We didn't do that many. But, for the storm scene..."
(The camera cuts to a large amount of fans. It zooms out, revealing it is part of the special effects for the set."
Plucky: "We did build the largest fan system ever constructed!" (To Calamity) "And, action!"
(The camera cuts to Calamity, who turns on the fans. The camera then cuts to the outside of the WB studio, revealing the force of the wind blows a hole in the studio and a lot of the filming equipment away)
Buster: "After losing six weeks' shooting time to the fan incident,"
(The camera cuts to a view of the boat from Kon Ducki in a storm situation)
Buster: "Plucky decided to construct the storm scene in industrial light and hocus-pocus. First, a scale model of the boat was filmed in a storm situation."
(The camera zooms out, revealing the scale model of the boat to be flushed down the toilet)
Plucky (As he flushes the toilet): "Oh, my ancestors, oh! Splat!"
(The camera cuts to the scene of the Cruise ship about to crash into the boat)
Buster: "Then the actors were filmed."
(The camera cuts to Plucky, Hamton, and Sweetie in the boat)
Plucky: "It's the end of the world!"
(The camera moves down to reveal that Plucky, Hamton, and Sweetie are puppets, controlled by puppeteers, who themselves are puppets controlled by puppeteers)
Buster: "These state-of-the-art servo-controlled motors are operated by trained professionals."
(The camera cuts to Plucky in his director's chair. He removes his hat)
Plucky: "To be an adventurer is to be obsessed." (He looks at his hat) "I've already worn this hat! I need a new hat!"
(Plucky runs off, revealing his director's chair to say, PLUNKY DUNK. The camera then cuts to Hamton sitting in the chair, and slowly zooms in on him)
Hamton: "If adventure has a name, it must be Plucky Duck! What a wonderful joy it's been, working for this creative... I can't read that next word, P.D."
(The camera cuts to Plucky, revealing he is holding a cue card that he wrote, and that Hamton has been reading off of them)
Plucky: "Genius! Genius!"
(Plucky tosses the card, then blocks the camera with his hand. The camera fades to black, then cuts to the next scene, where a pile of film is)
Buster: "After the film was edited..."
(The camera moves to the editor, who is mummified from all the film, as he walks out of the editing room)
Buster: "And the soundtrack added..."
(The camera cuts to Li'l Sneezer, who is sitting in a chair and playing a kazoo into the microphone, then cuts to Plucky in a screening room, nervously awaiting the results of his film)
Buster: "The director views the final product."
Plucky (crying hysterically): "Oh, oh, oh! I'm a genius! I am a genius! (laughs) "A toast to me!" (He pulls out a can of Mango juice and opens it) "Ahhh, mango juice!"
(Just as Plucky is about to drink the mango juice, the mast falls on him. The cartoon fades to black, and the credits roll)
