Synopsis
This time, Elmer is only hunting rare flowers. When he digs up a rare specimen with the surrounding dirt, his houseplant has an extra surprise: he also brings back Bugs Bunny (with his hole) to his penthouse apartment. A typically wild battle ensues as Elmer tries to rid his apartment of Bugs. The next morning, Bugs awakens in a new place, and Elmer is not amused. Bugs challenges Elmer to a contest to see who's the better man. Of course, Bugs doesn't shoot or jump as well, but he manages to win over poor Elmer in the end!

Production notes
Bugs does not say "What's up, Doc" in this cartoon.
In September of 1943, beginning with A Feud There Was, Warner Bros. began re-releasing select color cartoons in their "Blue Ribbon" program. Typically the Blue Ribbon reissues received new opening sequences with Blue Ribbon title cards and standardized music. Cartoon production credits were also removed. Between ten and fifteen cartoons were released in any given year, with cartoons coming from as far back as 1935. The reissues continued until the close of the studio in the 1960's.
All Blue Ribbon cartoons were released as "Merrie Melodie" cartoons regardless of the original series. The first "Looney Tunes" short to be included in the Blue Ribbon series was The Hep Cat, which was added in 1949. The only current prints of many of these cartoons are the Blue Ribbon releases, although restoration of these cartoons with original elements and titles is always ongoing.
