Plot synopsis

Set in 1776 at the "Battle of Bagle Heights", the short pits Bugs, dressed as an American Minuteman defending a wooden fort against the red-coated Sam von Schamm (or Schmamm), the Hessian, defending a large stone fortress. Sam taunts Bugs with the boast that he has him "outnumbered, one to one" and, after a barrage of ineffective cannon fire, charges across the battleground rattling his saber. Several gags later it is clear that Bugs has no difficulty outwitting his opponent, who suffers repeated injury.

He charges at Bugs Bunny's Fort, only to get blown up. The second time, he charges, only for Bugs Bunny to charge back and yell "Yoo-hoo! Mr Enemy!"

He fires his artillery gun at Bugs Bunny, only for the gun to get choked and destroy him. He then throws a bomb at Bugs Bunny, for Bugs Bunny to don a baseball uniform and to throw the bomb back at him.

He then tries to dig his way to Bugs Bunny's fort, only for him to end up in a room full of explosives.

A last gambit, involving a powder keg, backfires on the ornery Sam, leading him to change his tune: "I'm a Hessian, without no-o-o-o aggression!". Defeated, he joins Bugs in a fife-and-drum march that closes the film.
