Daffy Duck goes gold mining, only to encounter a gopher hole at the spot where he's supposed to be digging. The gopher hole happens to be inhabited by the over-polite Goofy Gophers, who do everything they possibly can to keep Daffy from finding his fortune.
This was the last of three cartoons during the DePattie-Freling years where Daffy was not paired with Speedy Gonzales. Unfortunately, the fact that it doesn't have this oft-maligned pairing does not necessarily make it a great cartoon. Most of the jokes are underdeveloped (how did the Gophers manage to pull Daffy's jeep apart like that anyway?), and Daffy is the same nasty/reckless character he was in his pairings with Speedy Gonzales. Really, this is essentially a Daffy/Speedy short with slightly better animation and Speedy replaced with the Goofy Gophers. Somehow, I still found the cartoon reasonably amusing because it does retain that classic WB charm (hence the 6-star rating), but it's certainly a good example of why the DePattie-Freling and Alex Lovy years are considered the worst in WB Cartoon history.
Watch it out of curiosity.
