Plot[]
Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, Yosemite Sam, and Angus MacRory are at a dinner to honor the "World's Greatest Sportsman". Daffy figures why he should bother, since Bugs always wins. Clips are shown of past Looney Tunes shorts. When the time comes to present the awards, all five are shocked to see they have lost. A sixth candidate, Foghorn Leghorn, won; footage is shown of him "playing every sport in his own backyard!"
