A fast-paced, slapstick cartoon built on the chase between a clever rabbit and an outmatched hunter, driven by gags and physical comedy rather than narrative depth.

Bugs Bunny is hunted by Hiawatha, a stereotyped Native American who fills roughly the same role as Elmer Fudd in other Bugs Bunny cartoons of this era.
