Plot

Bugs and Daffy tunnel through the Himalayan mountains instead of their intended destination, Palm Springs, California. Daffy, frustrated by the situation, decides to return to Perth Amboy. Meanwhile, underground, Daffy encounters a Yeti named Hugo, who mistakes him for a rabbit and gives him affectionate yet bone-crushing hugs. Daffy, desperate to escape, directs Hugo towards Bugs, who also falls victim to Hugo's overwhelming displays of affection.

After a series of misunderstandings, Bugs manages to evade Hugo and leads him on a chase underground, with Daffy following closely behind. Eventually, they all end up in Palm Springs, where Bugs and Daffy trick Hugo into believing Daffy is a rabbit again. However, the intense heat causes Hugo to melt away, leaving behind only a puddle. Bugs remarks on Hugo's true nature, while Daffy, soaked from the melting snow.
