A duck has his egg-laying chickens stolen by a fox. Will the animals of the farm and field help him recover his chattel? The answer is given in this, the second of the revived "Aesop's Fables" series from Terrytoons.Paul Terry had created Aesop's Fables for Amadee van Beuren back in 1920. He left nine years later and John Foster, now Terry's story director, had taken over. Although over a dozen years the series had ranged for from Aesop, each one had ended with a title card that noted that "2600 Years ago, Aesop said..." with some silly, Chinese-fortune-cookie aphorism.The first two of the revived series maintained the same format, and the stories for both were actually derived from Aesop. This one is a fairly straightforward version of the fable, with the gags spaced out to avoid drawing attention from the story.The duck looks like Gandy Goose in a red fright wig. I suppose that was simpler and cheaper than making up a new model sheet.
