Ep 3. Super Rabbit / Case of the Missing Hare

Super Rabbit/Case of the Missing Hare is the third episode in the sixth season of the classic animated TV series Looney Tunes. The episode originally aired on September 2, 1944 and was directed by Chuck Jones.

In the first segment, Super Rabbit, Bugs Bunny is dressed like Superman as he lands on earth from a distant planet. Bugs can fly, has x-ray vision, and is invulnerable to any form of harm. When he lands on an unsuspecting farm, he encounters a farmer who quickly becomes unnerved by Bugs' powers. Bugs explains that he's there to save the world and prove that he's the best superhero, but the farmer doesn't believe that Bugs has any powers at all.

To prove his power, Bugs challenges the farmer by taking a boulder and flying to the top of a nearby mountain. The farmer is unimpressed, saying that any rabbit could do that. Bugs then flies to the moon and back, but the farmer remains skeptical, saying that there could be a trick behind it. Bugs decides to use his x-ray vision to spy on the farmer and discovers that the man is a Nazi spy.

In the second segment, Case of the Missing Hare, Elmer Fudd is a detective who is called upon to solve a strange case. A wealthy millionaire has reported that his rabbit has gone missing, and he is willing to pay any price to get him back. Elmer takes the case, but he soon realizes that things are not as they seem.

As he investigates, he discovers evidence of foul play, including rabbit paw prints leading to an abandoned warehouse. Elmer follows the prints and enters the warehouse, where he is met by Bugs Bunny. Bugs, who has stolen the missing millionaire's rabbit, tries to outsmart Elmer and avoid being caught.

What follows is a slapstick comedy of errors as Bugs tries to evade Elmer and keep the millionaire's rabbit safe. The two engage in a series of humorous chases and mishaps until Bugs ultimately decides to return the rabbit to its rightful owner.

Overall, Super Rabbit/Case of the Missing Hare is a classic example of the humor and wit that made Looney Tunes such a beloved series. With its creative characters, hilarious writing, and timeless animation, this episode stands the test of time as a true classic.
