Le fait débute par un rappel historique. Il évoque les controverses liées au Général William Mitchell, pionnier de l'aviation militaire entre 1919 et 1936, année de sa mort. Il militait pour le développement d'une aviation ayant des bombardiers, mais sa hiérarchie croyait en la supériorité de la marine de guerre. En 1925, il fut même rétrogradé comme colonel.

The cartoon starts ten years in the future, in 1953. Hook tells his son about the time that he was a marine soldier, ten years ago. In a flashback Hook receives a message about a Japanese air raid. He quickly informs his superiors. Several American planes take off in the sky and leave the ship unprotected. Then a Japanese kamikaze pilot, who was hiding in a cloud, attacks the ship. Hook runs away, but finds a huge collection of war bonds which he literally uses as ammunition for his plane. After a few chase scenes Hook defeats the Japanese soldier by throwing the warbonds at the Japanese pilot who crashes down on an island, leaving only his clattering teeth behind. Back in 1953 Hook tells his son that thanks to the war bonds we won the war and it paid for their home, their new furniture and their new plane. He tells his son: "As a matter of fact if it weren't for the war bonds you wouldn't be here." The son remarks: "That ain't the way I heard it." Thereupon the cartoon ends with a close-up of Hook's startled face.

Le rideau s'ouvre sur une scène de théâtre où une reproduction du tableau du Yankee Doodle The Spirit of 76', peint par Archibald Willard, occupe le fond. Surgit Bugs Bunny jouant du pipeau avec une carotte, scène quasi identique à celle terminant le cartoon A Wild Hare (1940). Bugs croque la carotte et commence son discours patriotique en citant les figures emblématiques des États-Unis et tout d'abord de l'Oncle Sam, avec une certaine familiarité. Il revient en portant le chapeau aux couleurs du drapeau américain et la barbe blanche symboliques de l'Oncle Sam. Bugs lance des « war bonds » à pleines poignées, comme des tracts, et chante une chanson dont les paroles incitent l'assistance à acheter ces bons, qui « garantiront la liberté ». Il continue en dansant puis entame une parodie d'Al Jolson, artiste de music hall très populaire en Amérique et très lié au monde du jazz (il se maquille souvent en noir dans ses spectacles). Bugs prend les traits de Al Jolson et reprend brièvement son titre « Mammy », transformé pour l'occasion en « Sammy » (l'Oncle Sam). Porky Pig (en marin) et Elmer Fudd (en fantassin) rejoignent Bugs, chantent et dansent avec lui devant le public. L'image de la publicité pour ces bons vient clore le film.

À l'époque de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Nous voyons Bugs en train de lire un livre ayant trait à la légende des lutins, nommés gremlins, qui sabotent les avions. Il en voit un en train de commencer sa sale besogne. Bugs se fait écraser le pied puis, assommé, tirer la langue et, enfin, à nouveau écraser le pied avant d'être aux commandes d'un avion démarré par le gremlin. Bugs manque trois fois de tomber de l'avion avant de descendre.

After completing naval training, a bear cub, a monkey, a pheasant, and a puppy say goodbye to their families. While they are preoccupied, the monkey's younger brother falls into a river while chasing the monkey's cap and is carried towards a waterfall. The dog and the monkey work together to save the child just before he is swept downstream. A time skip occurs and Japanese forces are seen clearing a forest and constructing an air base in a Pacific island with the help of the jungle animals. A plane lands in the airstrip and from inside emerges Momotaro, depicted as a General, together with the bear, monkey, dog and pheasant, who by this point have become high-ranking officials. The subsequent scenes show the jungle animals being taught the alphabet via singing, washing clothes, given military training, and loading weapons in warplanes. The animal residents of the island are shown as simple primitives who are star struck by the glamorous and advanced Japanese animals.
