The cartoon marked the final theatrical appearance of the Goofy Gophers during the original Golden Age of Animation era. Unlike previous Goofy Gophers cartoons where the characters were performed by Blanc and Stan Freberg voiced the Gophers, in this cartoon Blanc performs both parts.
In the film, Daffy is a treasure hunter in search for gold. He tries to have the Gophers abandon their residence in order to search it for gold, but they refuse and fight back.
Plot edit
The map of treasure hunter Daffy Duck indicates that gold is located at precisely the spot where the Goofy Gophers live. When Mac and Tosh refuse to leave and defend their home, Daffy decides that violent means are needed to involuntarily remove what he considers pests. The Gophers fight back by giving Daffy first explosives, then ordinary rocks painted like gold, the latter of which fools Daffy into thinking he actually struck gold.
