14 Carrot Rabbit
During the Klondike Gold Rush in Canada's Yukon Territory, Yosemite Sam attempts to steal other people's gold. An old man named Louie is slouching over by a river to clean the gold he found in a pan. Sam suddenly appears, uses his gun and reputation of "Chillicoot Sam, the roughest, toughest, rootin'-est, shootin'-est claim-jumper that ever jumped a claim — and I'm-a takin' over YOUR CLAIM!" to scare him away, and claims the gold. When he sees how little he has stolen from old Louie, he says "Hardly no reward for a day’s work," even though he did not work for it. Sam later takes the gold to a shop called "Next to Last Chance Saloon" to trade them for money. He places the gold on the counter and orders, "Here Pierre, weigh this up, and keep your thumb off'n them scales!" After the weigh-up, Sam is furious to find out that Pierre can offer only ten dollars for the gold.
Ali Baba Bunny
In the middle of the Arabian Desert, a rich Sultan has stored all his treasure in a cave, the door of which he closes with the command "Close, Sesame." He leaves a burly, dimwitted guard named Hassan to watch the cave, ordering him to let nobody enter, or else he will be punished. As the Sultan leaves on his tiny camel, the trail of a burrowing rabbit crosses the desert towards the cave. Hassan spots the burrow tunneling under the entrance of the cave and attempts to chase out the intruders, but finds he cannot remember the command to open the door again, trying "Open, sarsaparilla", "Open, Saskatchewan", "Open, septuagenarian", "Open, saddle soap" and so on. Hassan noticeably loses his fierceness and appears dumbfounded when he struggles to remember the proper command, until he correctly guesses it, to which he immediately regains his toughness and bellows out his usual favorite saying; "HASSAAAN CHOP!"
Buccaneer Bunny
Sam is digging a hole to bury his treasure on a beach. He is singing the stereotypical pirate shanty "Dead Man's Chest"—on the second strain, Sam switches from the typical "yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!" to a decidedly more original "yo-ho-ho and a bottle of... Ma's old-fashioned ci-der" with a conga kick on the last syllable.
Bugs' Bonnets
Clothes strongly affect people's behavior. For an example, a typical Businessman's suit is replaced with a pirate outfit, making him act like one. "Batten down the keelhaul! Kill the women and children first! BLOOD!! GORE!!" Sometimes one piece of clothing, like a hat, can change somebody's behavior. Elmer Fudd, in "boring regular old fashioned every day clothes," has his bowler hat replaced with a hunter's cap, which makes him act like a hunter. "Bang! Bang! Bang! Come out of your holes, you cowardwy wabbits... and I'll bwow you to smitherweenies!!" He chases Bugs, wanting to see the color of Bugs' "spurting blood."
A Star Is Bored
In Bugs' dressing room, he is talking to the journalist, Lolly (a reference to the nickname of famed Hollywood columnist Louella Parsons), about his great film career, albeit rather modestly. "Who'd want to read about little old me?" Outside of Bugs' room, lowly Warners studio janitor Daffy says, "What a job for a duck with MY talents! Pushing a broom while others with absolutely nothing on the ball get all the breaks." He eavesdrops on Bugs' conversation and is disgusted by it. "Listen to that ham [Bugs] putting it on," Mockingly, he says of Bugs, "Anything my public demands! Anything my public demands! That does it! If a long eared rabbit can be a star, so can a duck!"
A Pest in the House
A labor shortage "became so bad" that employers are compelled to hire "anybody or anything".
Transylvania 6-5000
Bugs is heading for "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania", but instead ends up in "Pittsburghe Transylvania", upon hitting a tree. Initially he asks a two-headed female vulture named "Agatha" and "Emily" for directions to "Pittsboig", but the girls seem to be talking about making him into a meal. Bugs sees an old castle nearby, mistakes it for a motel, and calmly makes an exit.
Oily Hare
Along Highway $101.00, approximately 531 miles from "Dollar$, Texas," and near "Deepinahearta," Texas, Bugs' rabbit hole in "Deepinahola," Texas, upsets an oil tycoon because it isn't producing any oil.
Stupor Duck
Daffy Duck is Stupor Duck and his alter ego, Cluck Trent. He is faster than a (pop gun) bullet, more powerful than a speeding (barely-functional, 1800s-style) locomotive, and (almost) able to leap the tallest building like the "McKimson Assocates" [sic] building.
The Stupor Salesman
Slug McSlug, a notorious criminal, is chased by police after successfully robbing the Last National Bank.
The Abominable Snow Rabbit
Bugs burrows through the Himalayan mountains, followed by Daffy Duck. After a failed attempt by Daffy to go swimming in a frozen pond, the two realize they are not in Palm Springs, and Bugs works out they are in the, as he puts it, 'Hime-a-lay-as'. Daffy corrects him on the pronunciation, then realizes where they are. Angry, he gets back in the tunnel, and heads for Perth Amboy. But he misses a sign, which, in pseudo-Oriental writing, reads 'Beware of the Abominable Snowman'.
The Super Snooper
Daffy Duck is Duck Drake, a "Private Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat". He receives a call that summons him to the J. Cleaver Axe-Handle Estate, where somebody has supposedly been murdered. He arrives at the house and suspects a lady duck of committing the crime. The lady duck shows him affection; however, Daffy forces her to reenact the murder. Along the way, Daffy is shot, crushed by a falling piano, and eventually run right over by a train. The lady duck then tells him that he is at the wrong address and that the real murder site is down the road, but not before showering him with love by chasing him through the house and out the door.
The Up-Standing Sitter
Daffy Duck, working for a baby-sitting agency, is sent to a farm to sit for a hen who is literally "sitting" on an egg and wants to take a trip. Soon after the hen leaves, the egg hatches, producing a yellow chick whose shape, voice and attitude are similar to that of Henery Hawk.
Hollywood Daffy
Daffy Duck visits Hollywood, wanting to see Hollywood stars, and tries to sneak onto the "Warmer Brothers" set but does not receive a warm welcome from the Joe Besser-parody Studio Guard.
You Were Never Duckier
The National Poultry Show is being held, and Daffy looks at the matinee showing the prizes for the judging. The first prize for best rooster is $5000, and the best duck is $5. Daffy is not happy about this, and decides to disguise himself as a rooster (using rubber gloves and the tail feathers of an actual rooster) to get $5000. Meanwhile, Henery is being taught all about roosters by his father. Henery decides to head to the poultry show and catch himself a rooster.
