      The short reuses the animation for the stampeding elephant from "Room and Bird". The animation is repeated five times to make it look like it was a whole herd of elephants stampeding through.
    • Quotes

      Porky Pig: Now, w-where did I put that screwdriver? I bet I l-left it in the oven.

      [Looks inside oven with a lit match]

      Porky Pig: Ah, h-here it is.

      Daffy Duck: No accidents in the home, eh? You should never use a match to look in the oven.

      Porky Pig: Oh, f-f-fiddlesticks.

      Daffy Duck: You should use a flashlight, like so.

      [Peeks inside oven with flashlight; it explodes]

      Daffy Duck: Must have been a short in my battery.

    Funny!!!

    FOOL COVERAGE is one of the best and funniest Daffy Duck/Porky pairings of the golden age of cartoons. Daffy plays a shyster of an insurance salesman who tries to swindle Porky Pig into buying a plan with VERY specific guidelines. He can only collect his bongo buckage when he gets a black eye as the direct result of a stampede of elephants trampling his house between 3:55 and 4 PM on July 4th, during a hailstorm. Hilarity from start to finish.
