The hero of the film understands that all the roles go to Bugs Bunny while he plays somewhere in the background.

Duffy Duck turns to the famous Warner Bros. corporation to demand his own film there, but hopes to create his own project collapsed immediately after the leadership decides to fire him.

Together with our hero, the leadership dismisses also the security guard, who did something quite accidentally wrong. Probably, their careers are already over, but no - Bugs Bunny comes to the rescue. Why is he doing this? The thing is that he is simply dissatisfied with the fact that, firstly, now he is forced to act in special educational films, and secondly, he is bored to work without his, perhaps not the best, but good friend of Daffy Duck.
