synopsis
The premise of this cartoon is established right at the beginning: "It's a well known psychological fact that people's behavior is strongly affected by the way they dress. Even a change of hats will usually bring certain changes." Sure enough, when peace-loving Elmer Fudd dons a hunter's hat, his first act is to take aim at Bugs Bunny--who, donning an Army Sergeant's hat, orders Elmer to march into a nearby lake. And so it goes, hat after hat, personality change after personality change, until finally a top-hatted Bugs proposes marriage to a modestly veiled Elmer!
