After a cartoon wherein Bugs is the victorious protagonist in a pre-1900 San Franciscan gambling casino confrontation with the ruffian who stole his gold and Bugs has next presented to the audience the tale of a little chicken hawk who caught for his personal consumption the husky rooster who had been lecturing him about "starting small", Daffy disguises himself as Bugs to host the show, but a sheepdog, on a day free from his work, walks into the studio, hoping to catch the bunny-rabbit (Bugs) that he saw on television on the previous week. Daffy, in his rabbit suit, is accosted by the dog, while Bugs, off stage, introduces a cartoon with Sylvester, whose human masters depart for a two-week California vacation and have left him alone in a locked-and-sealed house.
