When brilliant scientist Elmer Fudd creates a device that can turn anyone or thing into a being associated with the cartoon realm, the FBI are brought in to check if Fudd has any nefarious plans with the machine, when in reality he doesn’t, and is actually quite depressed and is about to contemplate suicide when an agent accidentally knocks him back into the device and is transformed. Coming out as a toon and now practically immortal, Fudd plans to use the device to turn the entire world this way, as he states “If I Can’t Die, No One Can!”. Meanwhile petty thief and prankster Bugs Bunny comes across his friends who overhear about Fudd’s plans, and because they view that reality and toons are meant to be in harmony and that one shouldn’t dominate over the other, they set out to end this plot.
