Rabbit Rampage

The animator draws Bugs Bunny's hole in the ground, then abruptly erases it and redraws a hole in the sky. A sleepy Bugs climbs out of the sky-hole and stumbles, then falls back to the ground. He quickly realizes the animator is in charge of what happens to him on screen.

The ground hole is erased and moved up into the sky, and Bugs climbs out of the sky-hole. He loses his footing and falls to the ground again, underscoring that the animator can rewrite even his exits. The moment makes evident who is directing the scene.

Bugs states clearly that he does not want to be a victim of the animator. He tries to walk back to his rabbit hole, but the erasing continues, and he ends up diving headfirst into the ground as the scene is rewritten.

The animator paints a yellow streak on Bugs' back, implying cowardice. Bugs angrily grabs the brush and breaks it in half, signaling his resistance to being tampered with.

Bugs declares he will report the animator to Warner Bros., calling him a menace to society. The animator responds by drawing a picket sign reading 'I won't work' in Bugs's left hand, provoking Bugs' panic at the potential consequences.

Bugs panics further, insisting he is a valuable asset to the studio. The animator adds another picket sign, reading 'I refuse to live up to my contract.' Bugs panics again and discards the sign off-screen, fearing his fate.

Bugs reluctantly agrees to work on the project, but the animator keeps drawing hats on Bugs' head. The hats pile up in a ridiculous sequence—pink women's hats and more—until Bugs finally concedes and the cycle ends as the hats come off.

The animator draws a rotated forest, and Bugs tries to use a nearby tree to reach his hole. An anvil appears on Bugs' tail, causing him to crash onto a street and roll into an empty area.

In a fit of frustration, the animator erases Bugs' head and draws a jack-o'-lantern on his body. Bugs demands correction, and the animator simply adds rabbit ears to the existing head, deepening the chaos.

Bugs discovers a huge carrot in his pocket and realizes his head has become small with a high-pitched voice. He begs to restore his head, while the animator adds then adapts long ears, only to revert them when Bugs complains about literalism.

Bugs' tail is erased and replaced with a horse's tail. He protests that a horse should have a horse's tail, prompting the animator to erase Bugs' body and redraw him as a horse. Bugs reminds him that his contract requires him to be drawn as a rabbit.

The animator pretends to comply by erasing the horse and redrawing Bugs as a more abstract rabbit with big cheeks and feet. Bugs warns that this misinterpretation could have serious consequences for both of them, and the animator eventually returns him to normal.

Bugs tries to befriend the animator and suggests doing something popular, but the animator paints two clones of Bugs into the frame. Bugs shoves the clones out of the picture, insisting he won’t be replaced or forced to leave until the boss is brought in.

The animator paints Bugs on a railroad track with a train coming from a tunnel behind him. Bugs leans on a rock to avoid the passing train and declares he still knows a way out, then pulls a card reading 'The End' to signal his attempted escape.

The camera pulls back to reveal the animator is Elmer Fudd in a cameo, who laughs and says he finally got even with that scwewy wabbit. The signature gag closes with the implicit victory of the cartoonist over Bugs.
