[edit] About the film

Two rogue dogs are being pursued by a dog catcher until they hide in an abandoned house. There they encounter a trunk owned by Sham-Fu the magician (unseen). They open it, and all manner of magic tricks come out of the trunk, including his pet rabbit. The rabbit tricks the two dogs repeatedly, causing them endless frustration, until he is bested by the bigger of the two dogs, who bops him to a lampshade.

[edit] Trivia

This is the only Warner Bros. cartoon where a Bugs Bunny-esque rabbit is defeated, a vice-versa on where he normally wins.
