Recherché mort ou vif, Bugs est pisté par Elmer de la police montée. Elmer, devant un arbre portant une affiche de recherche du lapin, se réjouit de la prochaine capture de Bugs. Il s'aperçoit alors de traces de lapin dans la neige qui mènent à plusieurs autres arbres portant chacun une affiche. La première a été retouchée par Bugs en ajoutant une grosse moustache et une langue sortie. La seconde est en fait une publicité pour le magazine de la police montée, avec une pin-up en accroche. La troisième montre une affiche de recherche avec le lapin qui s'est caricaturé en Adolf Hitler. Le policier découvre enfin le terrier de Bugs et cherche à le piéger avec une carotte.

Ce dessin animé est une parodie de l'histoire bien connue des Trois Petits Cochons, produit dans le ton de la propagande anti-nazis de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dans ce dessin animé, les cochons partent en guerre contre Adolf le Loup (sous les traits d’Adolf Hitler), qui menace d'envahir Cochonland (Pigmania dans la version américaine). Les deux cochons qui construisent leurs maisons en paille et en bois déclarent qu'ils n'ont pas besoin de prendre des précautions contre le loup puisqu'ils ont signé un Pacte de non-agression avec lui. Le cochon qui construit sa maison en pierre, le Sergent Pur Porc (Sergeant Pork dans la version américaine) prend ses précautions et renforce sa maison avec un puissant dispositif de défense composé de barbelés, de bunkers, d'obusiers et de tranchées.

Singing cowboy Gene Autry (Gene Autry) and his fellow ranchers in Whippasaw are outraged to learn that the purchasing agent for the Grantley B. Johnson Packing Co., Thomas McCoy (Edmund MacDonald), is only offering them $65 per head of cattle. Unknown to the ranchers, McCoy is a gambler in debt to a bookie who sent his henchmen Horace Dunston and the Pigeon to ensure that McCoy pays up. McCoy plans to raise the money by pocketing the difference between what he is offering the ranchers and what the packing company sent him. Gene encourages the ranchers to stick together and wait while he travels to the city to speak directly with the packing company owner, Grantley B. Johnson (Thurston Hall).
