My Little Duckaroo is a 1954 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon short directed by Chuck Jones and written by Michael Maltese. The six‑and‑a‑half‑minute, English‑language film stars Daffy Duck and Porky Pig in a Western parody.

Plot in brief:
Daffy plays the Masked Avenger, with Porky as his sidekick Comedy Relief, as they ride through a desert looking for the villain Nasty Canasta after a poster offers a $10,000 reward. Daffy tries a string of disguises and heroic lines, but Canasta outwits him at every turn. After a series of slapstick setbacks—including an awkward card game, an arm‑wrestling duel, and a failed attempt to arrest Canasta—Daffy stubbornly declares he has “fixed his little red wagon” and heads off, promising to go home to Mother.
