A mischievous cartoon short where Bugs Bunny wages a gleeful prank war against Elmer Fudd through surreal nightmare sequences, prioritizing anarchic humor and visual gags over narrative coherence.

Elmer Fudd walks out of a typical Bugs cartoon, so Bugs gets back at him by disturbing Elmer's sleep using "nightmare paint."
