The Looney Tunes season 1941 episode 28 installment is titled "The Henpecked Duck." The episode features a dynamic between two characters - Daffy Duck and his girlfriend, Melissa. Daffy is trying to woo Melissa but is having difficulty due to her overbearing and controlling nature, making him feel, as the name suggests, quite "henpecked."

The episode is set in a serene countryside with rolling hills, blue skies, and a crystal-clear pond. As the episode commences, viewers are greeted with the sight of Daffy Duck relaxing on a rock by the edge of the pond, playing his banjo, and singing a tune. Suddenly, he notices his girlfriend, Melissa, strolling towards him. He is immediately on guard and stops his playing, trying to impress her. However, Melissa is not impressed, and she starts bossing Daffy around. She commands him to carry her across the pond, which he does reluctantly.

On the other side of the pond, Melissa's bossiness continues. She orders Daffy around, forcing him to do everything for her - from picking flowers to catching fish. She overpowers him, making him feel insignificant and powerless.

Daffy decides he's had enough and decides to teach Melissa a lesson. He disguises himself as a shy and timid duck and starts playing and singing "I'm just a Jitterbug." Melissa is immediately taken aback by his sudden jolt of confidence and begins to fall for him. Daffy, now having Melissa under his control, starts ordering her around, mocking her previous behavior. Melissa is left flabbergasted and confused at Daffy's sudden change.

Throughout the episode, the viewers are treated to a back-and-forth tussle of power between the two characters.

The episode ends with a surprising twist, as Melissa suddenly calls off the relationship, citing that she needs to focus on her career. Daffy is left heartbroken, but he quickly recovers, leaving the viewers laughing as the episode concludes.
