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 the 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.
