This cartoon is also notable for a bit of history behind its making, at least according to Chuck Jones: Jones' supervisor, Eddie Selzer, barged into Jones' office one day and announced, completely out of the blue, that "bullfights aren't funny!" Since Jones and his fellow animators [[Anti -Advice\|worked from the assumption that Eddie was always wrong about everything]], their only choice was to make a cartoon about bullfighting.▼ ▲The short begins with Bugs traveling on his way to the Coachella Valley for the "Big carrot festival, therin." but takes a wrong turn and winds up inside a bullfight arena, and becomes an unwitting victim of Toro the Bull and his horns.

His attempt to reload leads him to [[Non Fatal Explosion\|disaster]]. * [[Bull Seeing Red]]: Subverted, in that Bugs flapping his cape leads a dazed Toro into following him around the arena in a sort of dance. * [[Door Judo]]: Sets up Bug's [[Finishing Move]]. * [[Deadly Dodging]] - [[One -Dimensional Thinking]]: Bugs does this with an anvil. * [[Efficient Displacement]]: Toro leaves a bull-shaped hole through the matador's cape; Bugs leaves a rabbit-shaped one when Toro knocks him through a wall. * [[Mickey Mousing]]: Most notably used when Bugs is mockingly slapping Toro. * [[Second -Person Attack]]: Bugs uses Toro's horns to create a slingshot. * [[Shut Up, Scary Thing!]]: As seen in the page-image above. * [[Slippery Skid]]: Used as part of Bug's finishing gambit. * [[This Means War]]: Quoted by Bugs when he is first attacked by Toro.
