Episode Title:
Hare Trimmed.
Episode Description:
The story opens in a town with a sign saying it is called Doughnut Center with a caption below that reads "What A Hole" and Sam reading a newspaper indicating that a local widow has just inherited $50 million (about $478,000,000 today). Sam plots to marry the widow to take the money: once he has it, he will take everything else, house and all, from the widow, close the orphanage and get rid of the police department, but Bugs overhears him and plots to foil the plan by posing as a rival French suitor. The widow, Granny, is excited to have two suitors, but Sam is not. Challenging Bugs by throwing down a gauntlet, he slaps him with a glove; Bugs slaps him with a brick-filled glove. Bugs then challenges Sam to a shooting round at ten paces. Sam accepts and they go out to the front yard to do it. With Sam the only one with a pistol, Bugs times the steps. However, he counts out more than ten paces, but as he does not say the tenth step, only numbers after ten, their halves, and quarters, Sam absentmindedly follows them, walking into the street. When Bugs finally counts out the tenth step, Sam turns to fire...and is run over by a bus, with Bugs pleased that it was on schedule, so he could have it run Sam over when it did. Bugs then poses as the widow, teasing him and pushing a piano down the stairs over him. The real widow arrives and offers the dazed Sam a cup of black coffee. While Sam is waiting for his coffee, Bugs returns disguised again and asks whether Sam wants one lump or two (of sugar). Sam replies two and receives two blows from a mallet...
