Bugs Bunny 166 From Hare To Heir

From Hare to Heir is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon short released on September 3, 1960 starring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam as Sam, Duke of Yosemite at Bedlam Manor. The cartoon was directed and written by Friz Freleng. The cartoon takes place at Bedlam Manor, located somewhere in England, during the 18th Century. Sam, Duke of Yosemite finds out from one of his servants that Sam no longer has any money, because his uncle, the King, has cut off his allowance (possibly as punishment for losing his temper once too many times). After Sam punishes the servant for this message ( not having the books balanced ) by giving him the noseinthebook penalty (slamming a heavy book on the servant s big nose), Bugs Bunny comes to his door as a representative of an unnamed company and offers Sam one million pounds.
