While en route to Miami Beach for a much-needed break from Warner Brothers, Bugs Bunny once again misses his turn at Albuquerque and finds himself at the South Pole. After encountering a penguin fleeing from an Eskimo hunter, Bugs gets entangled in their chase. Despite initially trying to ditch the penguin, Bugs eventually takes pity on him and devises a plan to rescue him. In the end, Bugs decides to extend his vacation, realizing that the South Pole's six-month-long days allow him to enjoy an extended break until July 1953.
