Elmer is voiced by Hal Smith, as Arthur Q. Bryan had died the previous year.
The main plot revolves around Elmer doing a favor to his boss by watching his dog, Rupert, during an out-of-town trip ... the catch being that Rupert behaves as though he is a human and expects to be treated accordingly, and that Elmer must do everything he can to not offend his guest or risk losing out on more than just a work promotion.
Elmer Fudd is tasked with caring for his boss's dog, Rupert, under the promise of a potential promotion. Despite his best efforts to please Rupert, Elmer's attempts result in comedic mishaps. From misunderstanding Rupert's preferences to inadvertently causing chaos, Elmer finds himself in a series of humorous predicaments. Matters escalate when Rupert's misadventures lead to a drunken escapade and a run-in with the law, resulting in both Elmer and Rupert facing legal consequences. Despite the chaos, Elmer anticipates a promotion, only to discover that Rupert is the one rewarded with the coveted position, leaving Elmer humorously disillusioned.
