Synopsis

After a box of carrots is dropped into the middle of a jungle in Tasmania, Bugs pops out, wondering how he went from sleeping in a carrot patch to the middle of Tasmania. Suddenly, a group of animals (both wild and domesticated) come running through the woods, scared for their lives. A crocodile (who turns himself inside out into a bag for a disguise) hands Bugs a booklet talking about the Tasmanian Devil and the many things it eats.

While Bugs is going through the list, the Tasmanian Devil comes roaring in and greedily says that it 'especially' eats Rabbits. Bugs is able to temporarily fool Taz into thinking he's a monkey, which Tasmanian Devils don't eat (though, ironically, one of the animals seen running for its life was a monkey). However, Taz soon starts chasing Bugs again. After losing him, Bugs gets caught by Taz and is trussed up while Taz makes a large salad. Bugs tells Taz that the best meal to have with a salad is 'wild turkey surprise'. Taz, wanting to try it, undoes Bugs. Bugs throws some sticks of dynamite together, lights the fuses and dresses the 'legs' up to look like they're from a turkey. Taz gobbles the dish, but doesn't seem too harmed from the explosion in his stomach.

When Taz starts chasing Bugs again, Bugs runs into a Trader's store and pulls some items off the shelf to dress himself up as a Tazmanian She-Devil. Bugs 'makes out' with Taz (by using a bear trap as lips), but then a woman she-devil comes in (presumably Taz's wife, though this is not made clear) and pulls Taz away. Bugs comments, "She's a nice lady. Yeesh!"
