What happens

Captain Hareblower is a 1954 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon short directed by Friz Freleng and written by Warren Foster. The short was released on January 16, 1954, and stars Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. This is the third of the three and final Warner Bros. shorts (the others being Buccaneer Bunny and Mutiny on the Bunny) in which Yosemite Sam is featured as a pirate, as well as the only one that is in the Merrie Melodies series. It is the only cartoon of the three in which both Bugs and Sam lose. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
