What You'll Learn
Bugs Bunny disguises himself as Captain Bligh to trick Sam
This is not the first time Bugs has tricked Sam. In *Buccaneer Bunny*, Bugs crawls into a hatch in the ship's side, with Sam following with his sword, threatening to keelhaul him. Bugs opens the hatch to Sam's left and calls, 'Yoo-hoo!' When Sam opens the board, he is blasted by a cannon.
In another instance, Bugs lights a match and Sam tries to distract himself with a yo-yo and jacks while Bugs idly files his nails. Eventually, Sam gives in and goes to run after the burning match, but the powder room explodes before he can make a step. Bugs comments that Sam 'didn't make it' and Sam, furious, chases Bugs with his gun. Bugs flees back into his original rabbit hole.
In *Wackiki Wabbit*, Bugs kisses the castaways goodbye and presents them with leis, then pulls his time-honoured switcheroo trick and boards the ship himself, leaving the two men on the island, waving goodbye.

Sam, undeterred by the setback, continues his pursuit of Bugs. He tries to distract himself with a yo-yo and jacks while Bugs idly files his nails.
