Storyline
Plot Summary |
Elmer is a dimwitted hunter, "wooking for wabbits." Bugs is a clever, smooth-talking character, who confuses Elmer with double-talk and misdirection. Elmer is no match for the wascally wabbit, even when he thinks Bugs is dead. Written by Mike Konczewski |

Trivia | The producers' reaction to the gag of Bugs responding to a hunter pointing a gun at him with a confident casual remark, "What's up, Doc?" was so favorable that they decided to make that a standard element of future films featuring the character. See more » |
Goofs | When Elmer pulls a carrot out of his pocket, it has a single stem with no leafy material. He then lays it down by Bug's hole and creeps away to hide behind a tree. But when Bugs sticks his hand out to get the carrot, it has several stems and a lot of leafy material. See more » |
