This is a very good Bugs Bunny flick--especially because it's pretty original. Bugs is minding his own business when a hurdy-gurdy player's monkey begins pestering him for coins. Instead of just giving him a coin, Bugs is pretty mean and the monkey runs back to his friend--a huge and ill-tempered gorilla bent on teaching Bugs a lesson! Throughout the film, Bugs is chased up and down and throughout a building by the beast and time and time again Bugs outwits the big lug. Finally, Bugs is cornered and in desperation, he plays music and finds the gorilla LOVES music and becomes his slave as long as the music plays. The film concludes with Bugs starting his own larcenous hurdy-gurdy business. He plays the tunes as the gorilla runs amok smashing and grabbing and throwing the money out the window to the waiting Bugs below. The sky literally rains money as the cartoon fades.
It's an odd flick because Bugs plays a rather nasty and antisocial guy--being mean to the little monkey and leading the gorilla to a life of crime in the end, but it's still a wonderful film.
