"Hare Trigger"
(1945)
Yosemite Sam Match - Stage 1

by Wild Bill Blackerby & Piney Woods

Scenario
As our hero Bugs is riding the rails in the mail car a pint-sized bandit boards the train and begins to rob it. He accidentally throws Bugs into his sack of loot and makes his way thru the train. The bandit scoffs and tells him who he actually is. "I'm Yosemite Sam, the meanest, toughest, rip-roarin'-est, Edward Everett Horton-est hombre that ever packed a six-shooter!" Bugs tells Sam that there is another tough guy in the train packing a "seven-shooter", and Sam goes looking for him -- and he is actually Bugs in disguise.

Various fights ensue, as each character temporarily gets the upper hand for a while. Bugs has the dazed Sam convinced he's supposed to disembark the train, piling him up with luggage. As Sam steps off the moving train, the mail-drop hook grabs him and temporarily whisks him off the train. But he gets back on board somehow. Finally, Sam has Bugs tied up, dangling from a rope, weighted down by an anvil, and fiendishly cutting through the rope, while the train is passing over a gorge.
