Plot

Daffy Duck, as a shady hotel-keeper, advertises a one-night stay in his hotel for a dime, which proves attractive for traveler Porky Pig. Daffy then orchestrates a series of disturbances in Porky's room using animals, charging Porky increasingly exorbitant fees to remove them. It starts with a mouse, escalates to a cat, and spirals out of control with a boxer dog, lion, and elephant, going full circle with the mouse again. Each pest disposal fee climbs higher until Porky is fed up and leaves without paying.
Daffy insists on impounding Porky's luggage for final non-payment. The exhaust from Porky's car inadvertently sets off explosives in his luggage, causing an explosion in Daffy's hotel. As Daffy's tailfeathers catch fire, he dashes away.
