A Squeak in the Deep is a 1966 Looney Tunes short directed by Robert McKimson.
== Title ==
The title is a play on the 1897 song "Asleep in the Deep."
== Plot ==
The Guadalajara Yacht Club is awarding six thousand pesos to the winner of its annual race to Hawaii. Daffy and Speedy both decide to enter, though Daffy makes it clear he's in it only for the prize money, his greed once more showing. Daffy builds himself a raft, while Speedy just rigs a sail to a bathtub. Daffy sails to an early lead following the starting gun, singing Aloha 'Oe as he believes he has victory in the bag, but when Speedy passes, Daffy pulls the drain plug and sinks the tub. Speedy returns on a foot-powered paddle-wheeler, but Daffy throws him an anchor and smashes his craft. The mouse flies back on a helium balloon and lands on Daffy's raft. He says they should just work together and split the prize money, but the duck disagrees, as Daffy's greed refuses to share the prize money with anyone. Daffy gives chase, but Speedy knocks him off the raft and he sinks to the seafloor. Daffy returns and ties an anvil to Speedy's leg, but as he drops it, Speedy unties it and ties it to Daffy and he sinks to the seafloor again. Now fed up, Daffy chases Speedy once more, trying to wallop him with a baseball bat, but gets stuck in a porthole when Speedy tries to disarm him of his weapon. Speedy beats him on his bottom with the bat until he agrees to be partners with Speedy and split the prize money an even 50/50. As the other yachts approach, Speedy frees Daffy and they attempt to stay ahead of the other boats. Speedy call for more steam, but Daffy, propelling them with his feet, says the only way he could go faster was if a shark was chasing them. Speedy sits back and plays Hula Lou on his ukulele as the predictable happens.
