Aqua Duck is a 1963 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Daffy Duck. This short is directed by Robert McKimson and written by John Dunn.
Plot
Daffy is wandering across a Dalí-style desert. Under the broiling sun he is suffering from hyperthermia and dehydration. He seeks water, but finds a gold nugget instead. A pack rat wants to give him water in exchange for the gold, but Daffy refuses to trade.
The desert heat and his thirst take a toll on Daffy's sanity, as he begins imagining that he's in a bar, in a hotel, playing baseball, waiting for the bus, and dancing with a cactus. Finally Daffy becomes so severely dehydrated that he turns to dust and agrees to surrender the gold after the rat restores him with a drop of water. As he takes a glass of water, a storm swamps him in a flood. For the closing line he says, "When I buy water, I sure get my money's worth!"
