In the quaint town ofSan Fernando Alley, Bugs Bunny assumes the role of the Masked Marauder, a notorious carrot thief. Red Hot Ryder, tasked with apprehending the Marauder, repeatedly fails due to his inability to discern Bugs from the actual culprit. Despite eventually catching on, Ryder remains outsmarted by Bugs, who cleverly tricks him and his horse into plunging into the Grand Canyon. As the dust settles, Ryder finally realizes Bugs's true identity, culminating in a humorous revelation.[3][4]
