Synopsis

Bugs Bunny emerges from his hole on stage as Super-Rabbit, defender of the defenseless, buddy of the buddyless, to introduce science fiction cartoons. Intrepid interplanetary adventurer Daffy contends with Marvin Martian in claiming Planet X as home planet's rightful colonial territory, and Porky Pig and Sylvester are a Jupiter buzzard's selected Earthling subjects of study. Bugs is then joined on stage by a space suited Porky, who descends to stage level in a parachute and relates to the audience the story of Bugs' own experience in the cosmos, on a space platform controlled by Marvin with his apocalyptic Aludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
