Synopsis

Bugs Bunny makes one more tangle with Wile E. Coyote in Great American Southwestern Desert, climaxing with Wile E. employing the use of a 10 billion- that's right, folks, 10 billion- -volt electric magnet, which proves to be so powerful it attracts virtually every known form of metal on Earth (street lamps, street signs, cars, boats, trains, etc.), and even off of Earth (satellites in orbit!)!

One of very few shorts in which Wile E. Coyote speaks.

Megamagnet

Having watched this episode, I loved how Wile E Coyote tried employing his multi-million-volt mega-magnet and a magnetized carrot to catch Bugs Bunny once and for all, instead catching everything and everybody BUT him! Yes, even satellites orbiting the earth, an ocean liner, the Eiffel Tower, and a moon-bound rocket! LOL!!!
