Plot
Commander X2, aboard his interstellar vessel, embarks on a mission to Earth under the directive of General E=mc²: retrieve an Earth specimen for Mars. Accompanied by his canine assistant, K-9, Commander X2 locates the rabbit burrow of Bugs Bunny. While investigating, they are propelled back by Bugs’ discarded carrot stems. Mistaking them for Halloween trick-or-treaters, Bugs offers them treats. Commander X2, undeterred, resorts to his disintegration ray, obliterating the burrow.
Commander X2 demands Bugs accompany him to Mars. Bugs initially resists but capitulates after witnessing the disintegration of a nearby rock. In a ploy, Bugs dons a train conductor uniform, tricking the Martians into boarding their ship under false pretenses. Mid-flight, realizing the ruse, Commander X2 returns to Earth. Bugs then sows discord by suggesting K-9's mutiny. Commander X2 nearly disintegrates K-9, who protests his innocence. As Bugs attempts to leave, the Martians restrain him with an Acme straitjacket-ejecting bazooka. Aboard the ship, Bugs convinces K-9 to release him under the guise of changing attire. Once freed, Bugs restrains both Martians, taking control of the ship. After a turbulent flight, he anchors the vessel to stabilize it, inadvertently snagging the moon, Saturn’s rings, Jupiter, and other celestial bodies in a cosmic mishap.
Back on Earth, an astronomer observes the interplanetary chaos through his telescope. Bewildered, he resigns, signing off as I. Frisby, and leaves in a state of disarray.
