Piker's Peak

 Friz Freleng, Piker's Peak, USA 1957


A Yosemite Sam short this time. Mountaineering is the theme this time out.


In a quant Bavarian village, a challenge issued. Anyone who can climb the Schmatterhorn will win 50,000 kronkites. Sam takes that challenge but sadly, Bugs is already living on the mountain and is fairly high up to boot. 

After some back and forth, in which Sam is knocked down quite a bit, Sam has the idea to partner up. Sam then proceeds to try and double cross Bugs. It ends poorly. 

Decent. The running gag of Sam falling down the mountain is wonderful but Sam doesn't really do anything different this time out. He's greedy and pays for it but we've seen better.
