Southbound Duckling - (6 min. 15 sec.) 1955

The duckling is getting ready to go south. He packs his valise and says goodbye to Jerry, who tries in vain to make him understand that he's a domestic duck, not a migratory bird. The duckling tries, with no success, to catch up with other migratory ducks. He can't even get off the ground. The duckling uses a sling to launch his flight, but he ends up in Tom's mouth. Tom opens a cookbook, How to Cook a Duck. The duckling uses a board to propel himself into the air. A weight falls on the board, and the duckling flies up but soon falls down again into Tom's frying pan. Jerry rescues him. The duckling sits himself on a rocket. The rocket goes off. Tom swallows the rocket, but not the duck. The duckling finally uses a balloon to get into the air. Tom aims a gun at it, but Jerry rescues the duckling again. Jerry and the duckling leave together for the south by plane. But Tom sneaks along, crouching against the landing gear. Jerry and the duckling relax on the beach, but suddenly Tom appears and catches them, imprisoning them beneath a bucket.
