Plot summary

The Rambling House Publishing Company offers a grand prize to the salesman who sells the most books, and its two representatives, Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, each set out for a different territory. Bugs is bound for Pismo Beach, California and Daffy for Thermopolis. A winter storm sends Daffy crashing into Porky Pig's home, where he takes shelter after destroying a stuffed duck. Bugs turns up in a jungle and passes himself off as a baby ape. The pair meet again and set out together for Pismo Beach, and in the dry desert they come across a cave holding treasure. Bugs is then made to keep Prince Abba-Dabba, the son of Sultan Yosemite Sam, entertained with parodied fairy tales.
