Plot
In Darkest Africa, Bugs Bunny runs afoul of Dr. I.C. Spots, the diminutive witch doctor of a nearby tribe who wants to use the rabbit in a potion. Realizing he's about to be cooked, Bugs flees from the doctor, disguising himself as a native. The doctor sees through the disguise and chases Bugs to the river, where the bunny makes for a nearby ferry boat. Dr. Spots follows, but is swallowed by a crocodile. Bugs beats up the reptile and turns it into a crocodile-skin bag, with the tiny witch doctor inside dressed in crocodile shoes.

Reception
The Film Daily reviewed the film on January 1, 1950: "When Dr. Ugh, Witch Doctor extraordinary for a tribe of little people, decides it's time to leave. The jungle medico learns he can't split the hare, and B.B. emerges victorious once more. Wonderful cartoon."[6]
