The story revolves around a dying father and his son, who is trying to learn more about his dad by piecing together the stories he has gathered over the years. The son winds up re-creating his father's elusive life in a series of legends and myths inspired by the few facts he knows. Through these tales, the son begins to understand his father's great feats and his great failings.
For this cartoon Elmer was redesigned as a fat man (based on voice actor Arthur Q. Bryan's own physique) in an attempt to make him funnier. Fat Elmer would only make four more appearances - The Wabbit Who Came to Supper (1942), The Wacky Wabbit (1942), Fresh Hare (1942) and Any Bonds Today? (1942) - before returning to the slimmer form by which he is better known.
