Nous voyons un magicien corpulent et à longues moustaches, du nom d'Ala Bahma, clouer partout des affiches publicitaires de son spectacle. Le magicien en cloue aussi une sur le tronc d'un arbre creux où Bugs a emménagé et entreposé ses carottes. Le lapin déchire l'affiche en sortant pour chercher de nouvelles carottes à grignoter. Le magicien, furieux, recouvre le trou d'une nouvelle affiche... que Bugs déchire immédiatement. Bugs fait des remontrances à son adversaire, museau contre nez. Ala Bahma demande alors s'il aimerait une tarte aux mûres. Bugs change d'attitude et accepte avec joie, mais Ala Bahma fait apparaître une tarte d'un foulard et il envoie cette tarte dans la figure du lapin. Cela provoque le désir de vengeance de Bugs, où il parodie la célèbre réplique de Groucho Marx : « Of course, you know this means war! ».

Here John Wayne plays a coal miner with ambitions, Pittsburgh Markham. His self-confidence manifests itself in a lack of consideration for others. He's usually friendly but he makes use of people; to promote a loan, to con a new suit out of a tailor, to raise some money from a boxing match—pushing his best friend, Cash Evans (Randolph Scott) into the ring. When he meets Josie Winters (Marlene Dietrich), he starts calling her "Countess" because of the impression she makes on him, although she reveals that she comes from the same kind of humble coal-mining background as himself. Josie remains somewhat unimpressed by his big ideas but when she dares him to quit his job in the mine he does so—and tenders Cash's resignation as well.
