ummary
Wile E. Coyote ("Caninus Nervous Rex") pursues Road Runner ("Burn-Em Uppus Asphaltus") and hurls a hand grenade which rebounds off a saguaro. Later attempts by the coyote include a bow, a hydraulic press activated by an electric eye, invisible paint, and a disguised shotgun. Finally, he rides a rocket which goes the wrong way and sends him to the home of a Chinese Road Runner on roller skates.
Notes
This was the last Chuck Jones cartoon release from his first term at Warner Bros.
Censorship
*The ABC version of this cartoon cuts the sequence where Wile E. Coyote disguises a double-barrel shotgun as a peep show (called "Secrets of a Harem") and ends up getting shot. Also cut was an early scene where a hand grenade ricochets back to Wile E. and blows him up.
*The Merrie Melodies Show on FOX shows the "Secrets of a Harem" sequence, but replaces the part where Wile E. gets shot with a frozen scene of the Roadrunner looking down from a cliff.
