Plot
Bugs Bunny mistakenly receives a draft notice addressed to "B. Bonny," leading him to believe he has been drafted into the United States Army.

Upon arrival at the induction center, Bugs's participation elicits bemusement and incredulity from fellow recruits and military personnel alike. His exaggerated physical attributes, typified by oversized shoes and ears, contribute to a series of humorous encounters, including an unintentional bowling incident and a disruptive encounter with his drill sergeant.

Despite his earnest intentions, Bugs's unconventional approach to military life results in a succession of mishaps and disciplinary actions, leading to demotions in rank and additional duties. Bugs's unorthodox methods, such as adorning chickens in tuxedos and utilizing ammunition shells as makeshift tools, perpetuate chaos within the military barracks.

Bugs's true identity as a rabbit becomes apparent to his superiors, prompting an official apology and clarification regarding his ineligibility for military service. Nevertheless, Bugs demonstrates a willingness to contribute to the war effort, embracing a role in testing ammunition shells with characteristic humor and resilience.
