What happens

Oily Hare is a 1952 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Robert McKimson and written by Tedd Pierce. The short was released on July 26, 1952, and stars Bugs Bunny. The plot shares similarities to the plot of the short The Fair-Haired Hare, released one year earlier featuring Yosemite Sam as Bugs' antagonist. Oily Hare recycles the same ending where Bugs' home is filled with explosives and blown up. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
