An early screen test by the Warner Brothers cartoon division, trying to develop the Wallenda Worm character. This scene had Elmer Fudd firing his shotgun at Wallenda, who then drank latex caulk to plug the holes. It was deemed a failure: the test audience ran screaming from the theatre and a fire hose had to be brought in to wash down the aisles. Interestingly, it was this hose that led to the now-traditional "shoot and then drink water which then squirts out the sides" gag.

It was later determined that it wasn't the latex caulk that the audience had problems with, it was Wallenda. He was let go in 1947, then spiraled into alcohol and drug problems. After a brief comeback as the Tobacco-Spitting Worm in B-grade cartoons, he emigrated to Mexico where he was tragically trapped in a bottle of mezcal.
