Friz Freleng, Bugs and Thugs, USA 1954
Bugs tackles Rocky again, sort of. The gangster first showed up in 1946's Racketeer Rabbit and clearly based on Edward G. Robinson. Here he's redesigned and has a different sidekick, the dimwitted yes man Mugsy.
Strolling towards the bank, Bugs mistakes a car for a taxi. Pity the car is being driven by Mugsy, who's waiting for his boss Rocky, who's in the bank making a massive withdrawal. A wonderback forth follows, with Rocky asking Bugs if he knows anything (meaning about the robbery) and Bugs proceeds to rattle random facts.
"This guys knows too much!"
From there, well, Rocky thinks Bugs is trapped with them but what they fail to realize is they are trapped by Bugs, who proceeds to unleased hell in everyway. Wonderful bit, and Rocky and Mugsy could also carry a short by themselves.
