The rousing fun in this quack-up of a show takes place on Farmer Brown’s farm. Farmer Brown takes a vacation and leaves his brother Bob in charge with lots of written instructions. "And keep an eye on Duck. He’s trouble, " Farmer Brown’s note said. But Duck has found a pencil and he’s making a few changes to Farmer Brown's notes. Pizza for cows? Bubble baths for pigs? The ducks, the cows and the hens are back in top form. They can take care of themselves.
