Quick Hits:

- Watch for the Key Gag in this short:

Caveman Moe spots a mouthwatering duck sitting innocently in a nearby pond. Moe intends to make dinner of the duck, but the bird doesn't cooperate spraying Moe with a torrent of water from it's bill. Infuriated, Moe chases the duck about the pond, but each time is bitten by the duck on his leg or nose. Finally, Moe gets close. So close, in fact, that the duck sits atop his back without Moe knowing it. Larry and Shemp spot the duck but do not see Moe, whis is concealed in the pond's underbrush. Thrilled, they fire their bows and arrows with near marksman accuracy, hitting Moe square in the backside for a bull's-eye of sorts.
