Synopsis: Bugs tries to get Sam to let him come along on a sea voyage, but Sam forcibly declines. Once aboard his pirate ship, Sam is visited by his Cousin Shiftless, who is even a bigger pest than Bugs.

Subject Matter

Genres: anthropomorphic, humorous

Character(s): Yosemite Sam, Bugs Bunny; Mister Meanmugg (Sam's landlord); costume shop proprietor; Ludd (smuggler); Shorty (smuggler); Coast Guard cutter captain and crew

First Line: Sam! You? Raiding Fudd's carrot patch, too? But... But you're not a rabbit!

Synopsis: Yosemite Sam is bankrupt, having finally spent all he'd accumulated while pirating. He can't buy food (resorting to stealing carrots from Elmer Fudd's carrot patch) or pay his rent. As an ex-pirate, no one will employ him, and he won't agree to wear any clothing not sea related. A pair of eavesdropping smugglers tell him he can wear a sailor outfit and they will hire him and Bugs as part of a "maritime research" project, which is really a scheme to distract the Coast Guard. Once on the "job", a suspicious Bugs surreptitiously spies on their unusually accommodating employers to learn the truth.
