Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUp to now, all of Bugs Bunny's cartoons had been released under the "Merrie Melodies" banner; this is the first Bugs cartoon to be released under "Looney Tunes".
- GoofsTwice, Bugs uses a magnet to strip Red Hot Ryder of every metal object on his person. This includes objects made of metals that are non-magnetic - non-ferrous - (gold tooth fillings, cartridges with brass cases and lead bullets, coins made from various precious metals). The first time the magnet is used, while it strips all the bullets and gold coins, it fails to pull the guns out of Red Hot Ryder's pants.
- Quotes
Red Hot Ryder: Whoa, horsey! Whoa!... Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Aw, come on, horsey! Please, horsey? Please, whoa. Purty please? Doggone it now, horsey! Won't you please whoa?

Featured review
Red is weak but Bugs carries the cartoon really well
When the West was won, pioneers settle down to make their homes. However one such town is ravaged by the Masked Marauder, a thief who robs the gardens of their carrots. One man is called in to stop the thief the Red Hot Ryder. However will he be enough to stop Bugs?
The weakness in this cartoon is the normal one in average Bugs cartoons lack of a really good foil, in fact Bugs himself describes Red Hot Ryder as `a fugitive from the funny papers'. However despite the slightly dopey sidekick, Bugs doing his usual stuff is more than enough to make the cartoon funny. He totally confuses Red and it is very funny to watch.
Red is OK but he isn't up to the standard of the other cowboy character (who I expected to be in this) and all he does is be a bit silly and dopey. It speaks volumes that I actually laughed more at his horse than I did at his antics. Bugs is on good form though and he keeps everything moving really well.
Overall this is further proof that Bugs is best with a strong sidekick but that he can make a cartoon work even without one. Very funny short with Bugs' usual wit and attitude.
