As the cartoon opens, Wile E. Coyote runs up to Bugs Bunny's hole and constructs a door. He knocks on the door and Bugs, slightly bemused by the addition to his property, opens it. The Coyote advises Bugs of he being a rabbit and himself a genius, and he will eat Bugs as he is faster and smarter than him. Bugs, unimpressed, says "I'm sorry mac, the lady of the house ain't here. And besides, we mailed you people a check last week." The Coyote leaves (with the door), asking himself, "Why do they always want to do it the hard way?"

Looney Tunes animated cartoon first released theatrically in 1952. It was directed by Chuck Jones and features Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote[1].

This was the second cartoon to feature Wile E. Coyote (following 1949's Fast and Furry-ous), and the first in which he is identified by his full name. It is also the first in which the Coyote speaks; his voice, like Bugs's, was provided by Mel Blanc.
