Looney Tunes season 1938 episode 6, titled "What Price Porky," follows the adventures of Porky Pig as he tries to run his own grocery store. The episode begins with Porky purchasing a rundown store with the hopes of turning it into a successful business. However, he quickly realizes that he has a lot to learn about running a store and struggles to attract customers.

Throughout the episode, Porky tries various tactics to bring in business, from offering free balloons to hosting a singing contest. However, each attempt ends in disaster, with Porky either losing money or angering his customers. To make matters worse, a rival store owned by a sophisticated cat named Al has opened up across the street, stealing Porky's customers with ease.

Determined to compete with Al and save his store, Porky decides to hire a salesperson to help attract customers. He eventually settles on a fast-talking, eccentric duck named Daffy who promises to boost the store's sales. However, Daffy's tactics are even more outlandish than Porky's, including selling spoiled merchandise and dressing up as a chicken to attract customers.

As expected, Daffy's tactics only cause more trouble and nearly bankrupt the store. In a desperate attempt to make some money, Porky decides to enter a big balloon race with a cash prize. He builds a massive hot air balloon and convinces Daffy to help him fly it. However, their flight doesn't go as planned, and they end up getting stranded on a deserted island.

While on the island, Porky and Daffy stumble upon a valuable diamond mine, which they quickly start mining in the hopes of making a fortune. However, they soon realize that the mine is actually owned by Al, who had stranded them there to get rid of his competition. In the end, Porky and Daffy manage to outsmart Al and escape the island with the diamonds, but not before a wild chase ensues.

"What Price Porky" is a classic Looney Tunes episode that showcases the slapstick humor and zany antics that made the series so popular. It features iconic characters like Porky Pig and Daffy Duck, as well as a memorable villain in the form of the sophisticated cat Al. With its fast-paced action and clever plot twists, this episode is sure to keep audiences entertained from start to finish.
