A man reading a newspaper comes across an article stating that meat prices have soared. Angry he declares that he'll hurt his own meat to get back at the government for the price inflation. He takes his dog with him revealing he is going hunting for the rabbits.

In the woods a rabbit leads the dog into hollow log and pushes the log down the hill where it smashes into a tree. Meanwhile the hunter sees several rabbits hopping over the hill. He fires his gun several times and runs to where the rabbits were. When he gets there he finds two spinning wheels with pictures of rabbits on them giving the perception of moving rabbits.

The hunter sees the rabbit sleeping. The hunter starts pouring salt on the rabbit who quickly gets up and holds a stick of celery under the stream of salt. The rabbit then runs into a cave and the hunter runs after him. Before he reaches the cave a pair of elevator door closes which the hunter runs into.

The bunny then dresses a female dog sucessfully seducing the hunter's dog. When the dog finally realizes he's with the rabbit rather than another dog he resumes his chase. The rabbit then pretends he's a policeman citing the dog for numerous crimes (speeding running on the wrong side of the street intoxicated driving etc.).

After confusing the dog and running away the rabbit begins singing a song about how crazy he is. When he finishes the song he turns to find the hunter with his gun aimed at him. The rabbit trying to gain sympathy begs for his life explaining how poor and sick he is. The hunter begins crying feeling sorry for the rabbit. Despite this the rabbit shocks the hunter with a joy buzzer. The hunter pronounces that he can whip the rabbit and his whole family. Suddenly a large group of rabbits surround the hunter looking for a fight.
