Daffy Duck's Quackbusters (1988)

Plot: In this feature-length film combining footage from classic Warner Brothers cartoon shorts with newly animated bridging sequences, Daffy Duck, after having induced laughter in an ailing millionaire and forestalled the millionaire's death for a time (as chronicled in Daffy Dilly (1948), is the beneficiary for the deceased millionaire's assets. But the millionaire's will clearly stipulates that Daffy must use the money for the common good, by providing a service, and should Daffy think of pursuing selfish aims, the millionaire's ghost will "repossess" his millions by making them disappear from Earthly existence. Under the pretense of community service, Daffy opens an exorcism agency and employs Porky Pig, Sylvester Cat, and Bugs Bunny to track and eliminate ghosts, ghouls, and other monsters, while Daffy secretly schemes to use his learned "ghost-busting" talents to rid himself of the millionaire's nagging spirit.

Alternative Plot: In this animated feature, wealthy J.P. Cubish has promised his fortune to anyone who can make him laugh. After Cubish dies, Daffy Duck, who won the job of personal court jester, lands the inheritance. The rub is that Cubish has demanded the person who receives his money use the funds for good. Daffy mocks the notion until Cubish's ghost starts haunting him. Determined to be rid of the spirit, Daffy recruits his friends -- Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny and others -- to start a ghost-busting service.
