Plot
Bugs Bunny is taking his morning shower under a waterfall when the water stops flowing. The source of the problem turns out to be the villainous Blacque Jacque Shellacque, who has built an illegal rock dam in an effort to control the water supply and sell it at inflated prices. Bugs tricks Jacque into removing a tiny rock, at the dam's base, which then dislodges the dam. Shellacque builds a series of dams, each one bigger than the last, with Bugs destroying them all. Shellacque builds a steel dam only to find that there is no water flowing as finally, Bugs turns the tables and builds a series of rock dams of his own (in revenge for Jacques shooting his grammaphone thinking it was Bugs). Their roles reverse as Shellacque destroys dam after dam, ending with his being arrested for attempting to destroy the "Grand Cooler Dam" (a pun on "Grand Coulee Dam").
