"Elmer Fudd" and his dogs are chasing "Bugs" as usual - but just as his comeuppance looms, "Fudd" gets a telegram from his uncle "Louie" telling him that he will inherit $3m so long as he doesn't hurt any animals - ever again. "Bugs" sees a chance to have some fun, moves into his home and poor old "Elmer" is well and truly over a barrel - until that is, "Uncle Sam" takes his share of the bequest and pretty soon "Bugs" is back on the menu again... It's good fun, this, and clearly takes a swipe at the exorbitant taxation policies in place in 1940s America. Just beware next time you get a unexpected Easter Egg!
