Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man - Season 4 (1997)

Cornfed, Charles and Mambo take pity on Duckman and his pathetic love life, combining their vast scientific knowledge to create the ultimate aphrodisiac for him.

The Duckman family hones in on Cornfeld's plans to visit his Aunt Jane's ranch in Louisiana.

Guest voices include Estelle Getty as Aunt Jane and Ron Palillo as himself.

Beverly and Bernice are having trouble dealing with the idea of having a stranger for a twin, and decide to go on a camping trip to bond. Their plans are thwarted when Duckman latches on, bringing Cornfed as his guide, and Fluffy and Uranus as his trash collectors.
