Plot
A Viking named Sam the Terrible is rowing upriver towards a castle, and he is noticed by two people on a nearby riverbank, who quickly retreat to the castle, warning of an invasion. As Sam passes by Bugs Bunny’s hole, Bugs peeks out and thinks that Sam’s outfit is that of an “electric can opener broken loose”. Once he sees Sam entering the castle and forcing the residents to come out, the rabbit takes it upon himself to fight the enemy.
