Later Nature Boy spies Bugs walking and attempts to shoot a poisonous fruit at him, but Bugs blows through his bamboo blowgun, causing the man to ingest the fruit instead. Nature Boy then chases Bugs, who gets into the front of a canoe and rows off. He soon realizes Nature Boy is in the back of the same canoe and then they row into a tunnel. A moment later they come out another tunnel in each other's arms. The tunnel has a sign identifying it as a "Tunnel of Love" like from an old amusement park or carnival. Bugs says, "Gosh, Nature, I didn't know you cared." Nature Boy flies into a rage and chases Bugs up a cliff where the two of them fight in the kangaroo's pouch. Finally, Bugs kicks Nature Boy out and the kangaroo kicks him off of the cliff. Then, the joey floats down from the sky into his mother's pouch. The kangaroo gives Bugs a ride back to the US, using an outboard motor to power the kangaroo across the sea.
