The Tasmanian Devil was initially a one-shot Bugs Bunny villain, but Warner Brothers liked him so much he was used for a superb series of cartoons directed by his creator, Robert McKimson. The Tasmanian Devil was usually paired with Bugs Bunny, but 1957's Ducking The Devil is the series' funniest entry because here the Devil is paired with Daffy Duck.
After escaping from the city zoo - a scene done surprisingly straight and which works as such - the Tasmanian Devil finds a meal he's especially fond of - wild duck. But Daffy Duck is no coward - until the devil shows up and drinks his swimming pond to get at him. Daffy flees for his life, but upon hearing a radio newsflash that $5,000 will be rewarded for the devil's capture, and that the brute is made docile by music, Daffy gets a plan - but $5,000 for a ten-mile hike won't be so easy with Daffy's sources of music constantly failing him.
The overall cartoon is good, but the very best moment of the cartoon and of the Tasmanian Devil series comes when Daffy gets his hands on the reward, and the devil also gets his hands on the money, which proves that Daffy Duck may be a coward, but he's a greedy one.
