Plot
Porky Pig resides as judge over divorce proceedings at the "Court of Inhuman Relations." He calls the case of "Duck vs. Duck." Daffy and Mrs. Duck approach the judge's stand. Mrs. Duck shouts over and over: "I want a divorce!"
Porky asks her to relate to the court what happened. She explains that she had left Daffy in charge of keeping their egg warm while she visited her mother. Daffy grew bored, so he took the egg and performed a magic trick, causing the egg to disappear and then reappear. Impressed with himself, he tried the trick a second time but was unable to make the egg reappear. When Mrs. Duck returned home, he had replaced the egg with a door knob, hoping to fool her. She discovers this, and ends her story by shouting "I want a divorce!" once more, but this time, not in a blind rage, but extremely close to tears.
Daffy pleads for one more chance, and Porky grants his request. In tears, he tries the trick again, and the egg reappears, to the court's shock. The egg hatches and the Ducks reconcile their differences, but Junior with his glasses and his mallet said, "Case dismissed, step down!", hitting the mallet twice the end of the cartoon.

““The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered.”

Our bodies are weak and worn;
We plot and corrupt each other,
And we despoil the unborn.”
