What happens

Ali Baba Bunny is a 1957 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies parody animated short directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on February 9, 1957, and stars Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. Bugs and Daffy are heading towards Pismo Beach, California, but somehow arrive instead at the Arabian Desert. They discover a cave with hidden treasure, but they have to outwit its guard. Bugs poses as a jinn to do so. Later, Daffy discovers an actual jinn in an oil lamp. After insulting the jinn, Daffy shrinks to miniature size. The film is named after the folk tale Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and parodies some of its themes. The plot is primarily driven by Daffy's greed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
