What happens
Prince Violent (retitled Prince Varmint for television until the 2020s) is a 1961 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and Freleng's longtime layout artist Hawley Pratt. The short was released on September 2, 1961, and stars Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. The title is a pun on "Prince Valiant", a long-running comic strip at the time. The film is a war comedy set in the Viking era. The film depicts a Viking invasion led by Sam. He easily enters the local castle, but Bugs disarms him and expels him from the castle. Sam's subsequent attempts at a siege are always thwarted by Bugs' imaginative schemes. Sam eventually gives up and leaves the area, though he vows revenge. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
