That cartoon is one of my favorite Looney Toon shorts of all time. But it was called "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery." It was released in 1946. I have most of the dialogue from the short memorized (I've seen it that many times). You can get the details of the short at this page: The Great Piggy Bank Robbery.

A while back, I was testing my Tv capture card and software, when the cartoon came on. I got captures of the most famous parts of the cartoon. Here are some of them:

Daffy Duck as Duck Twacy inspects one of the footprints in the bad guy's hangout after falling in a trap door.

After following the footprints up a wall, across the ceiling, and down another wall, Daffy discovers a rathole. He shouts "Come out of there, you rat!" He gets more than he bargained for.

Daffy scurries away into the darkness, but...

...he's not alone! The piggybank robbers have found him!

He's surrounded! (GASP!)

(These are only some of the villians)Snake Eyes!

Hammerhead!

Batman!

Daffy: "You're all under arrest!"
The villians: "GRRR!"

The chase begins!

(A) Flaptop launches his planes

(Eraserhead?)"I'm going to rub you out, see! Ruuuuuubbb you out!!

Under attack by Pumpkinhead and his tommy gun, Daffy gets ready to throw a grenade.

The aftermath: (pumpkin pie)

The gangsters rush Daffy and get stuck in the doorway. Daffy slips through them and out of their clutches.

Daffy fires Pumpkinhead's tommy gun at the villians.

The aftermath:

(Here's your favorite part) Neon Noodle: "Guess who?"
Daffy: "Neon Noodle?"

Daffy: "NEON NOODLE!?"

Daffy struggles with Neon Noodle, then...

Daffy: "TA DA!" (Neon Noodle is vanquished!)

Thanks for the great stills (especially of Neon Noodle) and of 'The Great Piggy Back Robbery'. I can manage to recall much of the dialogue as well, but the titles to the toons are another thing ;-) Come to think of it, didn't Porky "play" a cabbie giving Daffy a lift to the hideout in this one?...
