Synopsis
Tommy Tortoise is tired of being beaten up by Moe Hare in the boxing ring. Moe loves to shadow box, only he's faster than his shadow. Tommy Tortoise would shadow box, but he's afraid of his shadow. It looks like a big win for Moe Hare. But wait, the fight's not over yet. In a cartoon within a cartoon, the script for the film lies next to an animator's easel, and the characters refer to it. Tommy plays the old "shell game" on Moe Hare (which shell is the tortoise under?). Moe finds a "lucky" horseshoe and puts it in his boxing glove. Tommy outsmarts the rabbit again and wins the boxing match. Tommy gets out of the cartoon and reads the script, then tears it up.
