- An upset Bugs challenges the slick Cecil Turtle to a race.
- When Bugs Bunny learns that the title of this film is Tortoise Beats Hare, he is going to "show them", the them including the tortoise in question, Cecil Turtle. Doubting Bugs' claim that he can beat him any day of the week, Cecil accepts Bugs' $10 wager on a race between the two of them. Cecil shows that not only can slow and steady win the race, sort of, but that a little ingenuity is a more effective tool, that ingenuity namely in confusing the opponent which may feel more satisfactory.—Huggo
- In an unusual opening for a cartoon, Bugs wanders onto the screen during the credits and reads them aloud, mispronouncing all the names. When he gets to the title, he is enraged, and calls the crew "...all a bunch of joiks!", then adds, "And I oughta know. I woik for 'em." To regain his honor, Bugs challenges Cecil "Toitle" to a race. Cecil calls all his look-alike cousins who live along the race course, and they bedevil Bugs by constantly appearing ahead of him, making him think he's losing at every turn. The rabbit crosses the finish line only to find Cecil waiting there, wondering what took him so long. Thus begins a grudge match continued with rematches in Tortoise Wins by a Hare (1943) and Rabbit Transit (1947).—runar-4
