A married couple gets into an argument while playing Scrabble. Their cat has just chewed through the power cable for their television, so they don't notice that a nuclear war has begun. The husband complains about his wife's habit of shaking her eyes, while she points out he has the bad habit of sawing the furniture from watching the TV show "Sawing for Teens" (the show is interrupted so that the warning can be given). They barely notice that there is panic in the streets. In the end, they reconcile after the husband plays a love song on a concertina. Afterwards, just as they start to open the door, they are vaporized by a nuclear bomb and instantly arrive in Heaven. Still unaware of what has happened, they comment on what a beautiful day it is and return to finish their Scrabble game.

The film portrays the increasingly desperate efforts of Mr. Johnson, an old man, to rid himself of a small, yet extremely destructive, yellow cat that will not leave his home. The attempts to get rid of the cat become more comical, and the cat becomes increasingly destructive, until Mr. Johnson resorts to an explosive solution. Mr. Johnson tries to put the cat in the woods, but gets lost, and returns. He traps the cat in a sack to have a fish, and tries to put in the sea on a boat, but nearly sinks when he is attacked by fish. Mr. Johnson tries to put the cat in a balloon, and send him flying away, but flies away, himself, and returns, hurt. Mr. Johnson tries to take the cat away on a pump trolley on a railroad track, going over many damsels in distress, but jumps over a cow, and hits a bug crossing the railroad track, when he falls into a mine, only to be attacked by snakes, bats, and mice. Mr. Johnson tries to blow up the cat, but fails with his hair on fire, and explodes into an angel, only to tease the poor little cat, who is squashed by his human body. The result is a twist ending playing on the end of the children's song, with the cat's nine lives bedeviling Mr. Johnson for eternity.

Séquence 1 : Contes de la forêt viennoise Porky chasse Bugs avec son chien. Bugs fait lire au chien de Porky un livre sur les bonnes manières lorsque ce dernier trouve Bugs et le pointe (comme s'il l'avait pointé des doigts) et le ferme avec son nez dedans ! Lorsque Bugs réussit à s'emparer du fusil de Porky mais qu'il le lance dans le trou d'arbre d'un écureuil, ce dernier essaye de tirer sur les trois présumés coupables : Porky et son chien n'ont pas été touchés ; seul Bugs (apparemment) l'est. Quand Porky veut le soigner, Bugs révèle un sous-vêtement et gifle Porky et son chien et emmêle les nœuds du chapeau de Porky avec les oreilles de son animal.

Ce dernier lui chante « Ô puissant guerrier au javelot vengeur ? Pourrais-je te demander un Quoi d'neuf docteur ? » Elmer lui répond « Je dois tuer le lapin ». Bugs lui demande : « Ô puissant chasseur, ce n'est pas aisé, c'est un dur labeur alors comment procéder ? » Elmer répond : « J'utiliserai ma lance et le casque magique ! » Bugs rétorque « La lance et le casque magique ? » Elmer dit : « Oui, casque magique ! » Bugs dit alors : « Casque magique... » et Elmer lui rétorque : « Oui, et son pouvoir est unique ! »

Elmer est en train de poursuivre Bugs, lorsque le lapin se réfugie sur une scène de théâtre où l'on joue Le Barbier de Séville. Elmer a la très grande surprise de se retrouver devant le public lorsque le rideau se lève et que le maître d'orchestre commence à jouer. Bugs arrive déguisé en barbier et entraîne Elmer dans son salon de coiffure. Il étale nonchalamment sur le visage du chasseur un mélange de crème à raser et de bière, puis hache Elmer avec un rasoir. Ce dernier revient, mais armé cette fois. Bugs (alors déguisé en femme) noue le canon du fusil et découpe les bretelles d'Elmer, qui se retrouve en caleçon devant le public. Il tente de tirer mais se retrouve dans le siège à cause du nœud. Bugs étale de la lotion capillaire, masse le crâne d'Elmer, transforme finalement le crâne en un gâteau de mousse, de légumes et de fruits. Le chasseur est alors poursuivi par le rasoir électrique, « charmé » comme un serpent par la flûte de Bugs, avant de se faire assommer avec le siège télescopique en voulant chasser Bugs. Profitant de cette occasion, Bugs cire le crâne d'Elmer, découpe ses chaussures avec un coupe-ongle, manucure ses ongles puis les peint en rouge. Il rase Elmer avec une mini tondeuse (après lui avoir préalablement aspergé le visage de lotion capillaire), lui met un masque d'argile, burine ce dernier, abuse de quantité de lotion et ajoute de l'engrais qui transforme le crâne chauve d'Elmer en un bouquet de fleurs. S'ensuit une surenchère d'échanges armés entre Bugs et lui (haches, fusils, canons).

That same day, Otis meets a new yet pregnant cow named Daisy, accompanied by another girl cow named Bessy.
