[edit] Synopsis
Two French chefs, Louis and François, both want to cook dinner specials for their restaurants, and both their dishes involve rabbits. They both spot Bugs and fight over who gets to cook him until Bugs outwits both of them.
[edit] Censorship
- When this cartoon aired on ABC, the scene where the two French chefs (Louis and François) clobber each other with a mallet and a frying pan was shortened. Also cut was the scene where Bugs inserts a stick of dynamite into a carrot before placing the carrot with the two chefs into "La Oven".
[edit] Availability
The short can be found (uncut) on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 2.
