Plot

Emerging from a hole at a greyhound track, Bugs Bunny gets caught up in the anticipation of an upcoming dog race. Fascinated by the competitors, Bugs befriends a large greyhound named Gnawbone, unintentionally angering him. When the race begins, Bugs intervenes to "rescue" a mechanical rabbit lure, causing chaos.

Escaping from the pursuing dogs, Bugs heads to the Dog Pound but faces off against Gnawbone. Using clever tricks, Bugs outsmarts the relentless hound, leading him into a collision with a fire hydrant. With Gnawbone defeated, Bugs tries to kiss the lure, only to be electrocuted as it returns to its starting box each time.
