On a sunlit afternoon at the Polo Grounds in New York City, a baseball game unfolds between two colorful teams: the Gas-House Gorillas, a burly and intimidating squad, and the Tea Totallers, the determined home lineup. The Gorillas push the limits with rough, overpowering play that unsettles the elder players and even unsettles the umpire with their hard-nosed tactics. Watching from his burrow in the outfield, Bugs Bunny grows increasingly frustrated by the unfair edge the Gorillas enjoy and decides to take a stand for fairness and sport.
