Synopsis
Mysto the Magician appeals to a snobbish opera singer, the Great Poochini (a pun on opera composer Giacomo Puccini), to let him perform an opening act at the show that night. Mysto's tricks primarily come from his magic wand, which can summon flowers and rabbits. After Mysto dances and asks him if he got the job, Poochini emphatically says "NO!", kicking Mysto out the door into the alley.Actors

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.

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.
