Plot

The Easter Bunny has fallen ill and Granny must find a replacement in time for Easter. She sets her sights on Bugs Bunny, believing him to be the perfect candidate. Upon reaching the Warner Bros. studio, she discovers that Bugs has a full schedule, but he promises to help her find a solution. Daffy Duck eagerly offers his services, but his attempts to help are marred by his strange choice of Easter-themed outfits. Bugs proposes other Looney Tunes characters to play the Easter Bunny, but none of them are available or suitable for the job. He then offers to take on the role if Easter is postponed by a week. Just as Granny and Bugs are discussing this, the Easter Bunny makes a surprising entrance, appearing to be fully recovered. In a twist, the "Easter Bunny" turns out to be Daffy in disguise; Granny and Bugs claim that they knew this all along.
