Synopsis
Great horny-toads! Bugs Bunny's underground home on the range is covered over by a newly-erected ranch-style house, into which moves Yosemite Sam. Bugs climbs up through the floorboards to investigate, coming out through a bearskin rug, making it look like the bear's attacking the rabbit ("playin' possum for 20 years!"). Bugs wants Sam to move his home away from what Bugs considers his property. Sam wants Bugs to haul his "flea-bitten carcass off'n my real estate!" Bugs takes the case to the "highest court in the country" (in terms of elevation, if not judicial wisdom), where the judge rules that they "both share the property under the same roof, and in the event one of you should pass on, the other shall inherit the entire property," a clause which immediately has Sam chuckling fiendishly.

Production notes
This short is often referred to as "The Fair-Haired Hare" despite the title card reading, "The Fair Haired Hare".
This was the first short in which Yosemite Sam was drawn with his mouth inside his red mustache for the entire film.
Songs include: "Home on the Range" (Unknown-arr. Carl Stalling), Performed by Bugs Bunny.
Bugs does not say "What's up, Doc" in this cartoon.

The Fair Haired Hare
Another supreme Yosemite Sam entry. Here he's a GENUINE threat to Bugs, attempting to do him in even when the courts rule they'll share space.
One of the best non-Jones Bugs cartoons to live out that director's philosophy towards the rabbit.
