This starts off as an adaptation of Robert W. Service's poem in spoof of The Shooting of Dan McGrew, complete with a literal depiction of a man with one foot in the grave, but when Dan McGoo turns out to be Droopy, it turns into another Droopy-versus-the Wolf/Wolf-goes-ape-for-the-girl gagfest.

Ce dessin animé est une parodie de l'histoire bien connue des Trois Petits Cochons, produit dans le ton de la propagande anti-nazis de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Dans ce dessin animé, les cochons partent en guerre contre Adolf le Loup (sous les traits d’Adolf Hitler), qui menace d'envahir Cochonland (Pigmania dans la version américaine). Les deux cochons qui construisent leurs maisons en paille et en bois déclarent qu'ils n'ont pas besoin de prendre des précautions contre le loup puisqu'ils ont signé un Pacte de non-agression avec lui. Le cochon qui construit sa maison en pierre, le Sergent Pur Porc (Sergeant Pork dans la version américaine) prend ses précautions et renforce sa maison avec un puissant dispositif de défense composé de barbelés, de bunkers, d'obusiers et de tranchées.

Le film s'amorce sur la version champêtre bien connue du Petit Chaperon rouge où l'héroïne, une jeune campagnarde maigrichonne aux grands pieds, explique au public sa mission d'aller porter de la nourriture à sa mère-grand, malade et alitée, qui vit sur une ferme. L'attention se déplace alors sur la ferme en question où un loup apparaît, coiffé d'un bonnet et déjà installé dans le lit de mère-grand. Il avoue tout de go au public qu'il ne veut pas manger le Petit Chaperon rouge, mais souhaite l'embrasser, car il en est follement amoureux.
