Plot synopsis

Set in 1776 at the "Battle of Bagle Heights", the short pits Bugs, dressed as an American Minuteman defending a wooden fort against the red-coated Sam von Schamm (or Schmamm), the Hessian, defending a large stone fortress. Sam taunts Bugs with the boast that he has him "outnumbered, one to one" and, after a barrage of ineffective cannon fire, charges across the battleground rattling his saber. Several gags later it is clear that Bugs has no difficulty outwitting his opponent, who suffers repeated injury. A last gambit, involving a powder keg, backfires on the ornery Sam, leading him to change his tune: "I'm a Hession, without no-o-o-o aggression!". Defeated, he joins Bugs in a fife-and-drum march that closes the film.
