Yosemite Sam dies after being crushed by a falling safe during his evil scheme to matrimonially divest a widow of her money- and he goes to hell, where the devil promises to release Sam's spirit and give to Sam a new lease on life, provided that Sam bring to the devil a certain rabbit whom the devil has been trying for a long time to entrap in Hades. Sam is returned to Earth on a movie set, where a dictatorial director, who looks and talks like Emperor Nero, orders stagehand Sam to find a victim to feed to a hoard of lions. Sam dies again when he is feasted upon by the lions, and the devil allocates to him one more miscarried chance to catch the bunny, in the midst of the Sahara Desert.
