The cartoon begins with the fattened version of Elmer Fudd prospecting for gold, singing "Oh! Susanna", except that instead of 1849, the cartoon is set during World War II, with the implication that Elmer hopes to donate the gold to the war effort: "Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me, I'm gonna get me wots of gold, V for Victory!", as well as a "Buy US Savings Bonds and Stamps" sign shown early into the short.
