Supervision-Rudolf Ising
Animation- Jack Zander
Producer- Fred Quimby
Musical Direction- Scott Bradley
Release Date- March 23, 1940





The cartoon opens on a range with all cows sleep. One curious calf notices a jackrabbit and follows it. The calf goes to follow the rabbit but an about 0.5 seconds the rabbit has hopped away! Do you think this is satire? The rabbit then hops in a bush with quails inside. The calf then bellyflops in the bush made of quails apparently. The rabbit is found under the calf's hide and hops away. Of course, the calf chases him. The calf has lost the rabbit and gets startled by an owl. While that happened the calf is met by a wolf. The wolf has got the calf stuck in a hole. The jackrabbit decides to get the calf's mother. A porcupine comes and pokes the wolf in the hide. The calf escapes and the wolf is scared of being charged by the mother. So the song Home on the Range is played and that's the end!
