As fitting a Second World War cartoon we see two shipwreck survivors on a raft, presumably sunk in the war in the Pacific. The two men (who are caricatures of two of the Warners Cartoon artists) have not eaten in day. One is tall and thin, one is short and fat. They are beginning to think of each other as potential sources of food. They see an island and get onto it (almost sail through it due to the eagerness of the fat fellow), and they soon spot Bugs. He is quite a figure wearing Hawaiian costume and giving the men leis, and speaking to them in Hawaiian (although he does end a section of his speech with a popular American vulgarism). One of the best moments in this cartoon is that translations of his comments appear underneath his lines of dialog (oddly enough his longer messages are short in English, and vice versa). When the skinny castaway returns the friendly greeting he says something short and sweet, and two lines of translation into Hawaian appear underneath - the fat one points this out to him and says, "Did you say all that?".
The remainder of the cartoon deals with their attempts to catch Bugs and eat him. There is the almost obligatory Bugs having a warm "bath" in a cooking pot sequence, and a great bit dealing with a cooked chicken getting hot under the collar with the two thunderstruck castaways. A final getaway from the island and a permanent chase end the cartoon - almost perfect in construction and humor.
