The cartoon starts with Bugs Bunny at an army air base where he reads a book mentioning how gremlins love to sabotage airplanes. Bugs laughs off the notion of such funny little creatures existing, just as an actual gremlin walks by him and attempts to detonate the blockbuster bomb he's sitting on. After almost being tricked into setting it off himself, Bugs chases the Gremlin to a nearby airplane and the rest of their fight takes place in the sky where the little creature constantly keeps him on the ropes.

* CartoonCreature: The Gremlin is an unusually designed creature that doesn't seem to be identifiable with any other kind of species. In particular, he has airplane wings affixed to his head, and an airplane tail...for a tail.

** The book Bugs is reading in the opening is called ''Victory Through Hare Power'', a reference to the book and Disney live action/animated film ''Victory Through Air Power''.
** When Bugs asks if that really was a gremlin, the Gremlin screams into his ear "It ain't Wendell Willkie!" Willkie was the Republican Presidential candidate for 1940, and a well-known proponent for America's entry into WWII.

* WartimeCartoon: The cartoon is set during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII and has an army air base and airplane as its setpiece, and the villain of the cartoon is a gremlin, who were commonly referenced as a rationale for plane sabotage. The ending gag also has a rather dated reference to fuel ration cards.

When speaking about gremlins in the generic sense or how Bugs sees "a gremlin," it shouldn't be capitalized. "The Gremlin" can be.

** When the gremlin lets him back inside the plane, the sound of Bugs's visible heartbeat is provided by a bass line.
* NonSequiturThud: After being hit on the head, Bugs Bunny does a Lennie impersonation, asking the Gremlin "Which way did he go, George?", gets a response — which allows Bugs to collapse in the appropriate direction. Afterwards, Bugs gives a ''second'' non sequitur, saying to the Gremlin in a child-like voice "I'm only three-and-a-half years old!".

The plane in question (and in the background) are based on the B-18 Bolo which was common in airfields on the American Homefront before and during the war; while it did not see much frontline service, it was common in the States as a home-defense and training aircraft.


* JustPlaneWrong: Being ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', the laws of aerodynamics (and gravity, and just about anything else you studied in physics class) are completely ignored in favor of RuleOfFunny. The only goof that's an actual error would be an American airfield having what appears to be a German Heinkel He-111 on it.
