Title

The title is a typical Western reference, equally in "The Lone Ranger rides once again", and as well suggests a reference to the 1940 Jack Benny comedy, Cadet Benny Rides Again.

Plot

Later on opening credits underscored past the "William Tell Overture", the music segues into a lively instrumental of "Cheyenne" as the activeness begins. In a typical Old Westward frontier town with the cocky-contradictory name of Rising Gorge, bullets are firing from every window across the street into every other window across the street. A hail of bullets flies down ane street until a terminate signal turns red and the bullets hover in mid-air while a second hail of bullets shoot by on the perpendicular street. The light changes back and just as the starting time hail of bullets is well-nigh to start, a lone bullet "runs the cerise light" at even higher speed, holding up the first stream. Later on it passes, the kickoff hail continues.

Inside the Gunshot Saloon with the slogan of 'Come in a get a slug', two men are standing at a bar. One human is about to potable a shot of whiskey; the 2nd man takes out his gun and shoots the first man. The first man throws his glass into the air and the 2nd man catches it. A scream is heard and Yosemite Sam enters the bar. All of the patrons are afraid of Sam, yelling his name in terror while the underscore plays stereotypical "villain music". Sam says, "Yeah, Yosemite Sam. The roughest, toughest, he-human stuffest hombre whose ever crossed the Rio Grande... And I don't mean Mahatma Gandhi! (See "Censorship" below for more than information well-nigh this line.) At present all of yous skunks clear out of here!" After firing his guns, all the patrons run out, followed by a real skunk who retorts, "My, weren't in that location a lot of skunks in here?" Sam turns around to see a man trying to sneak out. Sam fires his guns at the man, who then turns into a firing range walking dummy, making a "ding" every time he is hitting, with a score board above keeping tally. After that, Sam asks, "Be there whatever livin' varmint who aims to try to tame me?" Spying Bugs Bunny, he asks again, "Well, exist in that location?"

No one dares to claiming Yosemite Sam except Bugs, sporting a cowboy hat and rolling a cigarette. After a brief silence, Bugs replies ... "I aims ta ..." The two slowly walk towards each other. Bugs asides, "But like Gary Cooper, huh?" Sam declares "this town ain't big enough for the both of [them]!" Bugs tries to rectify that by running off-screen and, to sound effects of hammers and saws, quickly constructs a background of modernistic skyscrapers in the town, but "it nevertheless own't large enough!" Bugs and Sam and then face off threatening each other with bigger guns. After Bugs pulls out the pea shooter by accident, he flicks it at Sam, but Sam corners him and tells him "All correct now, yous wise guy! Trip the light fantastic toe!" while firing at his anxiety. Bugs grabs a pikestaff and straw chapeau from off-screen, and goes into a vaudeville soft shoe routine, and then says "Accept information technology, Sam!" The diminutive villain, although startled initially, quickly breaks into the same trip the light fantastic toe, and is tricked into dancing into an open mine shaft. Bugs expresses sympathy for Sam. "Poor trivial maroon. So trusting, then naive."

When Sam returns to the surface and orders him to "get-go walking", Bugs dares him to cantankerous a line drawn with his human foot. "OK, I'thousand a-steppin'!" Bugs continues this schtick all the style out of town to the edge of a cliff, where the unobservant Sam steps over the line and plummets toward the ground far below. Suddenly stricken with guilt, the speedy hare dashes down a roadway, beats Sam to the ground and lays downward a mattress, telling the audience, "Ya know, sometimes me censor kind-a bodders me ... but not this time!" as he pulls away the mattress. Sam smashes into the ground, and the already pint-sized bandit has been vertically flattened to a chapeau with legs, but he still comes upward firing.

A horseback hunt ensues to the tune of the "William Tell Overture", as the 2 ride on horses that are proportional to their own sizes. Bugs leads Sam into a tunnel, and again showing extraordinary structure talents, has fourth dimension to don a painter'southward cap and build a brick wall at the other end, into which Sam smacks. After more chasing, Bugs stops the chase and points out that they are getting nowhere and are right back where they began. "Hey, wait a minute, Sam! We ain't gettin' nowheres! We're right back where we started!" Sam agrees.

The 2 decide to settle their differences past playing cards "just similar in the Western pictures", with the loser being forced to leave town. "Gin rummy's mah game, Sam." Sam tells Bugs to "cut the cards", which he does using a meat cleaver. With a new deck, Bugs tricks Sam into playing a card that gives Bugs the win. "GIN! You lot lose!!" Bugs tries to become Sam to take the railroad train out of town, just when the passenger car is revealed to be full of swimsuit-clad women headed on the Miami Special, Bugs fights with Sam to board the train.

Bugs prevails every bit usual. He leans out the train window, his face covered with lipstick from kisses, and hollers, "And then long, Sammy, see ya in Miami!"

Censorship

• On The WB, the kickoff gun- and bullet-related gags are cutting: the bullets stopping and proceeding at traffic lights, one cowboy shooting another and then drinking his beer equally he drops expressionless (a similar scene in 1959'southward Wild 'due north Woolly Hare would also be cutting when aired on The WB), and Sam shooting at a cowboy like a wooden duck in a shooting gallery. The WB version also cutting the shot of Bugs rolling a cigarette when Sam challenges the cowboys to fight him.^[i]
• In the original version, Yosemite Sam's intro line when he enters the saloon is, "Yeah, Yosemite Sam. The roughest, toughest, he-human-stuffest hombre to ever cantankerous the Rio Grande. And I don't hateful Mahatma Ghandi!" Around the time the brusque's distribution rights were sold to Associated Artists Productions, Ghandi was already assassinated, so the last part of the line ("And I don't mean Mahatma Ghandi") was inverse to "And I own't no namby-pamby".^[one] The "namby pamby" version is the version that airs frequently on telly today and even on habitation media releases. Though sound tracks of the original line are known to be, a new version where the original line is reinstated has never been made.
