This short is one of many that has been subjected to censorship, because of its closing gag. After capturing the rabbit and sentencing him to execution, Elmer asks Bugs if he has one final request or wish. Bugs responds by breaking out into song: "I wish I was in Dixie; hurray, hurray..." A crossfade finds Bugs, Elmer, and the other mounties in blackface performing a minstrel show routine of "Camptown Races"
