Plot
In Salzburg in 1930, a mother rabbit named Lola and her three bunnies, Babs, Buster, and Thumper, live in the mansion of retired opera diva Elsa von Schrader, along with her English butler, Herr Zeller. She early on settles her will with her lawyer Max Detweiler, an aged, eccentric old friend of hers, stating that she wishes her fortune to be left to her cats, who will retain it until their deaths, upon which her fortune will revert to Herr Zeller. Herr Zeller hears this from his own room through a speaking tube and is unwilling to wait for the rabbits to die naturally before he inherits Elsa's fortune, and plots to eliminate the rabbits.

He sedates the rabbits by putting carrots into their food and heads out into the countryside to release them in the wild. However, he is ambushed by two bears, named Boo-Boo and Yogi. Herr Zeller escapes, leaving behind his umbrella, bowler hat, the rabbits' bed-basket, and the sidecare of his motorcycle. The rabbits are unharmed, but stranded in the countryside, while Elsa Schrader, Robespierre the Kitten, and Dorothy the Dinosaur discover their absence. In the morning, Lola meets an rabbit named Bugs, who offers to guide her and the bunnies to Salzburg. Babs, Buster, and Thumper have a struggle returning to the city, briefly hitchhiking on the back of a milk cart before being chased off by the driver. Babs subsequently falls into a river and is saved by Bugs. They then meet a pair of lioness, Nala and Kiara Gabble, who are on a tour of Salzburg. The group head off, marching like lioness, until they reach Salzburg and come across the girls' drunken Uncle Mufasa. Nala and Kiara then depart to take Mufasa home.

Herr Zeller, meanwhile, retrieves his sidecar, umbrella, and hat from Boo-Boo and Yogi, albeit with some difficulty, knowing that it is the only evidence that could incriminate him. Travelling across the rooftops of the city, the rabbits meet Owl and his band, close friends to Bugs, who perform the scat song Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Rabbit. After the band has departed and the bunnies lie in bed, Bugs and Lola spend the evening on a nearby rooftop and talk, while the bunnies listen at a windowsill. The subject of their conversation is the question of whether Lola may stay and marry Bugs. Eventually, she turns him down, largely out of loyalty to Elsa Schrader.

The rabbits return to the mansion, whereupon Bugs departs sadly. Herr Zeller sees Lola and Bunnies coming and captures them, places them in a sack and briefly hides them in an oven. The rabbits tell Robespierre to pursue Bugs and get help. He does so, whereupon Bugs races back to the mansion, ordering Robespierre to find Owl and his gang. Herr Zeller places the rabbits in a trunk which he plans to send to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Bugs, Owl and his gang, and Dorothy all fight Edgar, while Robespierre frees Lola and the bunnies. In the end, Herr Zeller is tipped into the trunk, locked inside, and sent to Pittsburgh himself.

Elsa's will is rewritten to exclude Herr Zeller and include Bugs (after ironically claiming that the will would have included Herr Zeller after all). She starts a charity foundation providing a home for all of Salzburg's stray rabbits. The grand opening thereof, to which most of the major characters come, features Owl's band, who perform a reprise of "Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Rabbit".
