Bugs is resting on a tropical island when fearsome pirate Redbeard comes along to bury his treasure. Realising that Bugs now knows where he has hidden the treasure, Redbeard decides to kill bugs to keep it a secret leading to a chase on board his own ship.
Despite placing traditional cowboy Sam in the role of a pirate without actually changing his accent or dress, this cartoon works out quite enjoyable. My initial worries about the character worked out and Sam actually fitted into the role pretty well. The plot is basically a big chase with Bugs doing his usual smart-alecky stuff and outsmarting his foil.
Bugs is as good as always and I enjoyed his antics, Sam is better than I thought he would be, the only downside being the pirate dialogue they occasionally put in his mouth. The two work well together and the material is funny.
Overall this is an enjoyable short that contains plenty of nice jokes (including a spoof of Charles Laughton) and funny action with imagination.
