PLOT SUMMARY

After another of his legendary wrong turns, Bugs Bunny ends up in the Himalayas where he meets and ultimately gets the better of a yeti.

CAPSULE REVIEW

A riot, pure and simple. This is Bugs Bunny at his his best, most charming and most infuriating. One almost ends up feeling sorry for none-too-bright yeti who falls prey to the rabbit's sadistic sense of humour. Another Warner Brothers gem.
