Su-jang was dumped by her first love Ji-min Park (Seung-Ri) and has been stalking him for the last ten years. To get a better view of Ji-min's house, she breaks into his neighbor's house owned by Byeong-hee. Once she enters Byeong-hee's house she finds him attempting to hang himself and saves him.

Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck again are arguing over which of them is “in season” (it is really Duck Season, as Daffy says in the beginning), while a befuddled Elmer Fudd tries to figure out which animal is telling the truth. Between using sneaky plays-on-words, and dressing himself in women's clothing (including a Lana Turner-style sweater), Bugs manages to escape unscathed, while Daffy repeatedly has his beak blown off, upside-down, and sideways by Elmer.
