* ShoutOut: The cartoon is a spoof of the 1939 play and 1942 film "The Man Who Came To Dinner". As he showers and shaves, Bugs sings "Angel in Disguise", from the 1940 Warner Brothers film "It All Came True" (which, like "The Man Who Came to Dinner", starred Ann Sheridan). When Elmer tries to coax Bugs into leaving, gently patting him on the head, which Bugs claims is terribly hurting him, Bugs references a running gag from the radio show Fibber [=McGee=] and Molly when he threatens to call Uncle Louie: "Operator, give me Walnut three three fifty… Ohhh, that you, Myrt? How's every little thing?" (By coincidence, Arthur Q. Bryan, the voice of Elmer Fudd, also played "Doc Gamble" on the Fibber [=McGee=] show.)

The cartoon starts with Bugs on the run from Elmer Fudd and his hunting dogs, ending with him getting cornered near a tree. But by chance, a mailman arrives on a scooter and delivers a telegram to Elmer. He reads the letter and discovers that his Uncle Louie is leaving him a $3,000,000 dollar inheritance, but with one catch--if he harms any animals, especially rabbits, he won't get one scent. Ecstatic, Elmer lets Bugs go free, but Bugs has other plans...

!Tropes:

* AllForNothing: Elmer spends the bulk of the cartoon at the mercy of Bugs, since leaving him or putting him in harms way would mean losing his inheritance. But then he gets a second telegram, revealing that even though he gets the inheritance, the taxes eat through so much of it that he doesn't get any spending money at all--in fact, he owes them $1.98. With no reason left to hold back, he immediately begins chasing after Bugs again.

* ContrivedCoincidence: The telegrams Elmer gets arrive at both the most convienient or inconvient times for him. The mailman who gives him the first one just happened to know exactly where he is in the forest while hunting.
* CreepyBasement: When Elmer is chasing Bugs in the climax, Bugs briefly heads down to Elmer's basement--only to come running back up to warn Elmer "Don't go down there--its dark!"
* ScrewySquirrel: Bugs messes with Elmer solely to spite him for trying to kill him, and then ditch Bugs once the matter of money comes in. For better or worse, Elmer [[TheDogBitesBack turns the tables on him]] once he finds out he's not getting any money.
* WritersCannotDoMath: If one looks at the second telegram Elmer got, it's revealed it would actually receive 900,000 bucks, even with all the taxes he mentions.
