UNINTENTIONAL GAG?: Flying Daffy is grabbed from the sky by an extending mechanical arm operated by Detective McGhee. As he is pulled to earth, Daffy exclaims: "S.T.D.! S.T.D.!", before being gently caught by McGhee:
McGHEE (puzzled): "S.T.D.?"
DAFFY: "Yeah! Save This Duck... and you did! Thanks, Mac!"
"S.T.D." (then as now) is an acronym for "Sexually Transmitted Disease". Writer Vic Lockman was in no way considered to be a subversive sort, therefore his use of such an unusual acronym is presumed to be his play on "S.O.S." - only applicable to ducks.
