Plot
In a cold snowy day, Daffy Duck is making a snowman until he hears gunfire in the distance. A turkey, named Tom Turk, desperately begs Daffy to hide him from Porky Pig, who here is portrayed as a pilgrim hunting for a turkey dinner. Daffy agrees and hides Tom in the snowman he made and proclaims to Porky that he won't tell him where his turkey went. However, he eventually gives in after Porky mentions all the food he would've prepared for dinner, including candied yams.
Tom Turk, mad at Daffy's perfidious attitude, digs under the snowman and plucks his back feathers onto Daffy, who was breaking down for being a stool pigeon to him. Porky then mistakes Daffy as the turkey he was hunting, and proceeds to chase him across the snowy landscape. Back to Tom, who was building another snowman, Daffy meets up with him again, and begs Tom to help him hide from Porky. Tom agrees. and "attempts" to hide Daffy in different places, but finds all of them "fruitless". The cartoon ends with Tom continuously "hiding" Daffy in different places into the night.
