Plot

At Colonel Korny's World Famous Circus, Bruno the Bear is the star of the show. But when the Colonel gets a phone call about Bugs Bunny's talents, he agrees to put him on stage with Bruno - which Bruno shows his disgust for by spitting into a corner.

When Bugs is introduced along with Bruno, Bruno can't help but smack Bugs around a little. Bruno tries to get the better of Bugs - either by placing an anvil on top of a series of targets so Bugs can hit his head, or by not catching Bugs during a trapeze act. However, Bugs soon starts getting the better of Bruno, including turning the tables on Bruno by letting Bruno fall from the trapeze into the band section.

Bugs then starts playing up the idea that he's going to be the sole star of the show, and to prove it, he'll take a dive off a platform into a tank of water. Bruno gets on an adjacent tank, and challenges Bugs to an even higher height and diving into a smaller amount of water. Eventually, Bruno comes up with the challenge of diving convert|1000|ft|m|0 off the platform into a block of cement. Bugs appears ready to do the stunt, but Bruno forces his way into doing the stunt himself. When Bruno then lands flat on the cement block, Bugs then leads a dazed Bruno around, telling Bruno that he's going on a 'trip'. Bruno then gets whacked around by various performers of the circus, until finally landing in a cannon which shoots Bruno out of the tent. Bugs giggles and says, "Well, he always wanted to go out with a bang!"
