Synopsis

Bugs and pirate Sam are on rival ships, with "Seagoin' Sam" (as he calls himself) trying to capture and board Bugs' ship. Sam takes lots of cannonball shots from Bugs. Says Sam: "Surrender, rabbit! I've got ya outnumbered one to one!" Bugs outwits Sam as he throws matches down into the powder room where Sam must race to get it before the ship explodes. You know the bit!

Production notes

One of the episodes in which Bugs does not win at the end.

Sam is seen at the tiller singing a version of "Blow The Man Down" as he moves the wheel back and forth; however, the capstan and rope do not move even though they are supposed to be attached to the wheel.
