Here is another "Mental Sorbet" that we could use to momentarily forget about those things that leave a bad taste in our mouths.
Daffy Duck is in
Hollywood producing a movie about
King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, starring himself; also appearing in the film are
Porky Pig,
Petunia Pig,
Sylvester,
Tweety,
Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner,
Foghorn Leghorn,
Pepé Le Pew,
Elmer Fudd,
Yosemite Sam, and
Charlie Dog.
At Horrible Hall, the
Groovie Goolies are watching a television interview in which Daffy’s talking about his new movie, when their program is interrupted by a ghoulish being calling himself The Phantom of the Flickers; he announces his intention to destroy every film that Daffy Duck and company ever made, including their current King Arthur film. Being a huge fan of Daffy, Frankie goes to Hollywood to offer his help, and the other Horrible Hall residents go along with him.
Mayhem ensues when the Looneys and the Goolies first meet, but they eventually settle down and continue filming the movie. The Phantom suddenly grabs the film and, disguised as Hauntleroy, tries to escape from the Goolies by running through a magic
mirror into “Mad Mirror Land” (i.e., the real world). Frankie, Drac, and Wolfie chase after him, and after a cartoonishly slapstick pursuit they bring the Phantom and the film back to their world.
The Phantom turns out to be Drac’s long-lost uncle Claude Chaney, a formerly famous
silent film actor who was acting out of anger over
black-and-white films being replaced by
color films. Daffy gives Claude a job, the movie wins an award, and the Goolies head for home.
