Bugs is found reclining on a piece of ordnance next to a bomber plane, idly reading "Victory Thru Hare Power" (a spoof of the 1942 book). Bugs Bunny, leaning on a blockbuster bomb, is seen laughing uproariously; he turns to the audience and shares what he is reading: an accusation that gremlins wreck American planes through "di-a-bo-lick-al saa-boh-tay-jee," a notion that Bugs finds ludicrous. A little yellow humanoid with airplane wings on a large blue helmet scuttles by and begins striking the bomb with a mallet, whistling "I've Been Working on the Railroad." Noticing the creature's lack of success, Bugs offers to take a shot at the bomb and takes a long hard swing, stopping immediately before making contact in sudden realization that he had nearly been hoodwinked. He then ponders if the creature in question were a gremlin, and the gremlin affirms with a shout: "It ain't Vendell Villkie!"
