the wolf manages to avoid them by doing a split and bracing himself between a bench and a chair. Trying to weigh the wolf down and make him fall on the pile of coals, Bugs proceeds to dump various heavy objects into the wolf's arms, finally planning to drop a single piece of straw on top of the pile of heavy objects as he's on the verge of falling.

Carl Stalling kicks things off with "The Lady in Red" playing over the opening credits, which is fun and all, but when Red first appears onscreen, belting out her unforgettable rendition of Cole Porter's "The Five o'Clock Whistle", you
