Episode Title:
Frigid Hare.Episode Description:
While traveling to Miami Beach for an overdue vacation from Warner Brothers, Bugs Bunny yet again misses the left turn at Albuquerque and ends up at the South Pole. As Bugs studies a map, a young penguin fleeing an Eskimo hunter knocks him down, then disappears into the distance. The pursuing Eskimo does the same, but immediately returns to 'ask' Bugs which way the penguin went. Bugs sends the hunter in the opposite direction. He then finds that the penguin has grown attached to him. Wanting to get back to his vacation, Bugs fools the penguin into thinking they will spend part of it together, then distracts him and pushes him down a snowbank, only to see him slide into the hunter's bag. Bugs starts to resume his journey, suggesting to himself that he isn't responsible for what happens, but is quickly overcome by his better nature ("Oh, always somethin'! I'll never get to Miami!") and, through a clever ruse involving him disguising himself as a female Eskimo and followed by a chase and a close-call, he rescues the penguin. Bugs grumbles that he only has four days of vacation left. He learns from the penguin that, at the South Pole, the days are six months long. Figuring this means he can stretch his four-day vacation until July 1953, Bugs dons top hat and tails and accompanies the penguin on "a nice long formal vacation."
