Setting: 1900s, April Valley
Peter Cottontail is an irresponsible young rabbit living in April Valley, and though he is chosen for the prestigious job of Chief Easter Bunny, Peter’s recklessness leads to the ascent of the evil rabbit Irontail as the new tyrannical Easter Bunny.
Donna is a young rabbit living one year before Peter’s blunder, and she encounters him on Valentine’s Day as he travels back in time to correct his terrible mistake, posing as Harold Hasenpfeffer.
Peter and Donna share a romantic evening at the ice skating rink, knowing that their time is short and that Peter will have to resume his time traveling soon. Donna helps Peter distribute eggs to the Valentine’s Day folks, but their happy moment is foiled by the arrival of Irontail, who destroys Peter’s eggs and his hopes of success. Donna and Peter are separated by time once more as he races to deliver his eggs before Easter, but they may have one more chance to be together, somewhere on a holiday in the future.
