Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Here we have a slapsticky sequel to the Oscar-winning The Tortoise and the Hare, with several other familiar Disney characters thrown in. For their much-awaited rematch, Toby Tortoise and Max Hare square off not on the race track but in the boxing ring, with Practical Pig (from The Three Little Pigs) acting as timekeeper and his siblings Fifer and Fiddler Pig among the spectators. Once again it looks like Max is the sure winner, especially with a cheering section consisting of three cute female bunnies. Slowpoke Toby is unable to fend off Max's punches until he is galvanized into action by the loving caresses of the Mae West-like Jenny Wren (from Who Killed Cock Robin?. In a truly explosive climax, Max once again turns out to be a bit too self-confident for his own good.
