China Jones is a 1959 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes short directed by Robert McKimson. The short was released on February 14, 1959, and stars Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. This cartoon later became rarely shown in the United States due to ethnic caricatures of Chinese and other East Asian people. The cartoon is a spoof of the 1950s TV series China Smith, starring Dan Duryea.

Plot

Daffy Duck is China Jones, an Irish private investigator working in Hong Kong in the Far East. At a restaurant called Lo Down, he finds a fortune cookie containing a call for help which states: "HELP!! I'm being held prisoner in a Chinese bakery. - £150 REWARD" (around £4,374 in today's money) and decides to investigate. Needing a good hot tip as he is unsure where to look out of the thousands of bakeries in China, he sees a solo musician advertising for hot tips from a bar run by Limey Louie, a friend of Jones who is busy doing time in prison. As Jones leaves the restaurant, he is met by Charlie Chung (Porky), a caricature for Charlie Chan, who Jones treats as a fellow detective. When Chung tries to bring up a matter of money, Jones simply thinks Chung is trying to cut in on the reward.
