Nudnik contains only one major character, simply named Nudnik (or "Yaramaz Nudnik", as the Turkish DVDs refer to him). He cannot do anything right; when he does something, it usually ends with disastrous results, and usually gets him in trouble. At first the idea was for each short to be scored with melancholy jazz music, which was done for the first cartoon. However, the studio wasn't pleased with the musical choice, and they made Gene use more upbeat music.

The song that was used most often was "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams", used both for the opening sequence and as a general theme of sorts for the character himself. Though there were other characters, they were unnamed, such as the fat woman, the dog, the cop, and the thief. There was something of an unspoken rule that everything in the world hates Nudnik, further adding to the mayhem.

The fake Bugs grabs an axe from Bugs's mantle and tries to kill Bugs, but Bugs catches his impostor in the act and runs away in terror (flashing forward to the present briefly to remark how this is the scariest part of the picture). The "That's all, Folks!" end card and music appear, but an irritated present-day Bugs protests that there is no way he is allowing the story to end on that note, vowing to get to the bottom of the situation.
