Bugs Bunny 146 Pikers Peak

Piker s Peak is a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated short featuring Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam, directed by Friz Freleng. It was originally released on May 25, 1957. The title is a pun on Pike s Peak. In the Swiss Alps, when the mayor announces a competition with a prize of 50, 000 kronkites to the one who can climb the Schmatterhorn first, Yosemite Sam quickly volunteers. When he starts climbing, Bugs Bunny emerges from a rabbit hole on the mountain, hearing a band playing the sendoff tune and a crowd cheering. He inquires about the sounds, to which Sam brags about his dare and the prize. Bugs decides he wants in, and climbs up the mountain an easier way than Sam. Realising that Bugs now plans on winning, Sam tries to pull him back down ( Get down, ya longeared mountain goat ) In the process, he causes Bugs to pull down a boulder, which chases Sam back down the mountain and crushes him.
