Studios", Nora Rita Norita, Plucky Duck joins in along-side with Daffy since he felt what Daffy felt, but now they're promptly fired by the "Vice-President of Comedy", Kate Houghton. Security guard and aspiring stuntman, D.J. Drake is asked to escort Daffy and Plucky off the studio lot, but the ensuing chase leads to the Batmobile crashing into the studio water tower, which set the Warner Siblings on the loose to run amok in the studio, causing D.J. to also get fired in the process. D.J. returns home with Daffy and Plucky hitching a ride, where he receives a message from his father, action film star, Damian Drake, who is actually a secret agent. Damian instructs his son to travel to Las Vegas, find his associate, Dusty Tails, and find a mystical diamond called the "blue monkey" diamond, before he is shortly thereafter captured by the ACME Corporation, which is revenge of "former-CEO of Warner Bros.
