Fool Coverage

Fool Coverage is a 1952 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Robert McKimson. The cartoon was released on December 13, 1952, and stars Daffy Duck and Porky Pig.

In the short, Daffy is an insurance salesman, trying to sell a reluctant Porky a "full coverage" policy.

Plot
Porky is accosted by Daffy, an assertive insurance salesman representing the Hotfoot Casualty Underwriters Insurance Company of Schenectady, New York. Daffy persistently urges Porky to purchase an insurance policy offering $1 million coverage for a mere black eye, despite Porky's initial refusal. Daffy's relentless pursuit leads him to shadow Porky throughout the household, cautioning him about the perils of mundane domestic activities. However, Daffy's attempts to demonstrate these dangers often result in comical misfortune, such as an oven explosion triggered by his flashlight demonstration.

Further antics ensue as Daffy fills Porky's closet with improbable items, only to be met with Porky's denial of ownership for each request. A series of slapstick mishaps, including falling through a concealed hole in the floor and inadvertently detonating dynamite disguised as a candle, befall Daffy as his schemes backfire.

Despite Porky's initial skepticism, he eventually succumbs to Daffy's persuasive tactics and agrees to the insurance policy, only to discover the absurd conditions in the fine print. The policy stipulates that the $1 million payout is contingent upon a specific scenario involving a stampede of wild elephants in Porky's home between 3:55 and 4:00 pm on the Fourth of July during a hailstorm. Coincidentally, a stampede of wild elephants does materialize in Porky's living room, precisely at the designated time and under the specified weather conditions. However, Daffy's attempt to evade payment by referencing an additional provision for a baby zebra proves futile when a baby zebra appears alongside the elephants. Realizing his imminent financial liability, Daffy faints, resigned to the inevitable payout despite his failed attempts to manipulate the fine print.
