Portly amateur detective Runyan is hired by dental nurse Adams to investigate the unexplained murder of her boss. Suspicion falls on disappeared patient Clark, who had been helped by probable gangster Gordon. Runyan finds Boyd, Clark’s former lover and briefly his wife, who reveals that Clark had done time in jail. The police tell Runyan it was for robbery of half a million unrecovered dollars. In jail, Clark had a cellmate Deets, with whom he shared everything. On release, Deets had claimed Clark’s share of the loot from Gordon and had promised to eliminate Clark, whose corpse he left in a burnt-out truck. When he realised Clark had been having dental treatment, so his teeth could be identified, he killed first the unfortunate dentist and then the nurse as well. Runyan tracks him down and in a final shoot-out he meets his end.

Elmer est en train de chasser dans un bois ; pendant ce temps on aperçoit seulement les pattes de Bugs Bunny qui semble faire une promenade, tandis qu'Elmer suit la piste des traces de Bugs, nous découvrons Daffy avec des pattes de lapin en train de se diriger vers le terrier de Bugs. Après avoir esquivé de justesse une balle d'Elmer, le lapin affirme qu'il s'agit en fait de la saison de la chasse au canard ; après eu Daffy à 3 reprises avec le coup des contraires, le canard se reprend une balle sur le bec lorsqu'il vérifie que le fusil d'Elmer ne contient plus de balles. Bugs cloue un panneau indiquant la saison du canard, Daffy se déguise grossièrement en lapin lorsqu'il rencontre Elmer et Bugs qui lui aussi déguisé en canard. À son grand dam, Daffy ne se rend pas compte que le panneau a changé et maintenant indique la saison du lapin : il se reprend une balle. Alors qu'il couvre Bugs d'insultes, le canard se rend compte que le lapin a sorti un livre de cuisine sur les canards : ce duel de recettes s'achève lorsque Elmer avoue qu'il est végétarien et chasse pour le sport. Les 2 victimes s'enfuient pour se cacher dans le terrier en plongeant et Bugs fait croire à Elmer que son fusil est un fusil à éléphant : l'un de ces pachydermes cloue littéralement le chasseur dans la terre. Elmer tombe sur Daffy déguisé en chien et Bugs en séduisante chasseuse : ils sont rapidement découverts lorsqu'une des oreilles de Bugs dépasse : le lapin et le canard arrachent des panneaux annonçant la saison du lapin et du canard. Ils prennent la place du chasseur lorsqu'ils tombent sur un panneau « saison de l'Elmer ».

During 1920s, before the 1944 California prison reform, Warden Ben Rickey (Ted De Corsia) rules Folsom Prison with ruthless control. He believes that prisons should be used more for punishing the captive convicts, rather than using the time that they would spend behind the walls of the prison as an opportunity to reform their unruly behavior and repeated returns to a life behind bars. His methods of control are violent, torturous, and meant to beat the prisoners into submission.

Jeffrey Lynn plays a defeated politician who takes over as editor of a small town newspaper in an effort to get himself elected. His campaign is intended to be a continuing expose of the evils of big industry, and his strategy is to publish daily investigations of industrial skullduggery and pollution. Marilyn Monroe, listed as one of the film's stars, actually plays a very small bit as Iris Martin, the shapely office secretary.
