[1] The short was released on June 19, 1954, and stars Bugs Bunny and the Tasmanian Devil making his debut.

It describes the Tasmanian Devil, or Taz, as a "strong, murderous beast", with "jaws as powerful as a steel trap" and a "ravenous appetite", who eats a long list of animals.

As Bugs admires a deer he has crudely fashioned from a variety of objects, Taz swirls in and chases him up a tree.

While Taz methodically chomps sections of the tree, bringing Bugs closer to the ground each time, the rabbit diverts his attention to the deer.

Bugs suggests Taz use the slingshot he has provided - a huge rubber band slung around a tree - to knock the prey out first.

Taz does this, but as he is pulling the slingshot back in preparation to fling the pre-loaded rock, Bugs saws down the anchoring tree.

In a few seconds, an airplane flies in, lands and a Tasmanian She-Devil spins out, dressed for a wedding ceremony.
