Friz Freleng was originally intended to direct the short, but refused to work on it as he was unsatisfied with the story. The feud resulted in Freleng receiving about a month suspension from the studio.[4]Hawley Pratt, Freleng's layout artist, would direct the short uncredited.[5]
Plot
The film begins with a pack of wolves howling in the center of Hollywood (a reference to Hollywood and Vine) as a spot for men looking to pick up women ("wolves" in the slang of the day). Daffy, having travelled to Hollywood, attempts to get into the "Warmer Bros." studio to see movie stars. However, the abrasive Keystone Cops-like security guard with a Joe Besser-like voice will not let him pass through the gate. After unsuccessfully endeavoring to enter the studio by way of various disguises and being thrown out each time, culminating with Daffy posing as a film director, but ultimately this disguise is exposed as well. Daffy finally declares that he won't leave until he literally "sees (movie) stars." The guard agrees to figuratively show him the stars, then bashes Daffy over the head and throws him out of the studio, where the dazed Daffy can see all the stars he wants...circling his head.
When trying to enter the studio, Daffy disguises himself as Charlie Chaplin (in his signature outfit), Jimmy Durante, Bing Crosby (voiced by Richard Bickenbach, who imitated Crosby often in Looney Tunes cartoons)[6] and an Academy Award statue. When the cop questions whether Daffy is really an Oscar, Daffy indicates that "J.L." is waiting for him, a reference to Jack L. Warner, head of production at Warner Brothers (see Freleng's "Ain't That Ducky" for another reference to "J.L." by Daffy.)
When Daffy drives the cop through the studio, he passes the dressing rooms of Abbott and Costello (with the same shape as their bodies), Ann Sheridan (also as shapely as the actress, and surrounded by several bear traps) and Jimmy Durante (whose house has the same shape as his profile, including his famous, large nose), who has a bear trap on his leg.
