What’s the name of the Bugs Bunny cartoon in which he’s held hostage by two gangsters in a remote cabin and at one point he tells a cop looking for the gangsters, “Would I throw a lighted match in this oven if my friend Rocky were in there?” (The cop replies, “You might, rabbit. You might.”) Also, is it on any of the Golden Collection DVD sets?

Is either Bugs and Thugs or Racketeer Rabbit:http://encycl.opentopia.com/term/Bugs_and_Thugs
Bugs and Thugs is a 1954 animated short film in the Looney Tunes series produced by Warner Bros. Cartoons, Inc. It features Bugs Bunny with Rocky and Mugsy. This is the first cartoon with Mugsy in present-day form. The film is a semi-remake of Racketeer Rabbit, with a similar oven gag. It was directed by Friz Freleng.

It is in the The Looney Tunes Golden Collection, Vol. 1. (Disk 4)

Thank you. FYI, you can view “Racketeer Rabbit” online here at the TCM webpage (RealPlayer or Windows Media Player formats). But “Bugs and Thugs” is funnier.
