Synopsis

The King is tired of all the dishes that cook Yosemite Sam makes, and tonight, he asks for something new: "Hassenpfeffer." Meanwhile, Bugs comes to the back door to borrow a cup of diced carrots. When Sam realizes that Hassenpfeffer is a rabbit dish, he invites the bunny to dinner. Sam reserves the rabbit raw and alive! The King scolds Sam, and he demands that it be prepared right. Bugs escapes and leaves a surprise for the King: a spring-released pie in the face! The King has Sam taken away, and Bugs becomes the new chef, serving carrots! Bugs confides, in a Cockney accent, "It just goes to show ya how a one-eyed jack (rabbit) can beat a king!"

Production notes

The King bears a strong resemblance to a young Charles Laughton- especially in his title role in the 1933 film "The Private Life of Henry VIII."

Bugs does not say "What's up, Doc" in this cartoon.

This is my least favourite Bugs and Sam cartoon. The pace is slow and the gags are not funny.
