The subject for tonight's show is one that has always puzzled us little denizens of the woodland glades. In yet another lecture, Bugs talks about man. "You see, folks. Man is basically lazy. In order to keep from using his feet, he uses his brain." The lecture addresses human methods of conveyance, including the pogo stick, the Birdie-mobile (a seat carried in the air by a flock of birds), the horse, and the automobile in its many forms, then discusses the human need for companionship, hence the opposite sex and marriage, with a family of bears portrayed in a cartoon as a parallel to this human tendency.
