In gratitude for being released from a dog catcher's wagon, Chopper gives Yakky a whistle, which the duck uses to call for help when Fibber Fox tries to eat him.
When Yakky thinks that Fibber Fox is his mother, the fox finds that he can't bring himself to eat the duckling; this drives Fibber to see a psychiatrist.
Chopper and Yakky stay in an abandoned house for the night; Fibber Fox disguises himself as a ghost, hoping to scare Chopper away so he can catch Yakky.
