A programmer is typing away on their keyboard, engrossed in their task of coding some sort of application. They try to run their program, but an error appears on their monitor. They delete some code and type something else, but they still get an error. They decide to explain their problem to the inanimate rubber duck on their desk. The programmer tries again and again and again, but can’t figure out their problem—eventually, the programmer gets up, and leaves the room.

​

Suddenly, the duck springs to life. Hopping around in circles on the desk, before hopping behind the side of the monitor, and appearing on the screen. The camera follows, ‘entering’ the screen with the duck.

Inside the monitor, the duck hops on the code editor icon on the taskbar, minimizing the program, revealing a little bug flying around on the desktop. The duck hops around on the taskbar, chasing the bug in circles. The bug bumps into the taskbar search menu, and opens the command prompt, before flying into it and turning into animated ASCII characters. The duck follows the bug into the terminal, also turning into ASCII characters. The camera enters the command prompt as well, revealing a black void with slowly falling 1’s and 0’s, with the duck (now back in 3D) hopping after the bug.

​

The bug eventually leaves, and the duck continues to follow. This time, the bug flies into the Minecraft icon on the taskbar. The duck follows, jumping on the icon and getting sucked into the game. Minecraft opens on the desktop, and we’re in a first person view of the duck in minecraft. The duck crafts a sword, and begins chasing after the bug in the game—however, the duck falls into a pit and gets a game over, before getting booted out of the game. The bug leaves, and minecraft closes.

​

The bug then flies into Maya, and the duck once again follows. The duck creates a large hammer out of primitive shapes, and begins trying to squash the bug. Unfortunately, the bug is too nimble, and easily evades. Maya crashes and the bug and duck are booted from the program.

The duck chases the bug into a chess application, and the camera enters as well, showing off a retro-3D chessboard with duck themed pieces. They play a few moves of chess, before the bug gets a checkmate on the duck, and the duck gets booted out of the game.

​

The bug decides to open chrome, and heads to amazon, jumping into the html of the site. The duck follows, and the two once again turn into ASCII characters. The duck is distracted by the amazon ASCII duck, but the bug closes chrome and the duck is booted from the html, losing his 8-bit lover.

The duck chases the bug around on the desktop, and the camera cuts to the real world, where the programmer is staring in shock at the monitor. They repeatedly press the power off button on their computer to quickly get rid of the madness before them.

​

In the dark void of the shut down computer, the duck accidentally lands on the bug, defeating it once and for all.
