Little Rural Riding Hood

The country wolf has fallen in love with Red rather than wanting to eat her. This inverts the traditional Little Red Riding Hood story for comedic effect, the wolf is lovesick and wants to kiss her, not devour her. This is the central gag that drives the entire cartoon.

Early in the film, Red proudly displays a moonshine bottle instead of a traditional basket, signaling this will be a twisted version of the fairy tale.

A telegram arrives from his city cousin, who invites him to meet the city's version of Red and shows a photograph of the glamorous City Red. Intrigued by the promise of urban romance, the country wolf abandons his rural pursuit and heads to the metropolis.

When the country wolf gets too excited pursuing the City Red at the nightclub, his city cousin grabs his suspenders, places a hidden hammer in them, and releases it. The hammer snaps back and knocks the country wolf unconscious, allowing the cousin to drag him back to the countryside. The cousin uses this same trick twice, once in the city and once back at the farm.

When the wolves return to the countryside, the city wolf suddenly becomes captivated by Country Red just as he was captivated by City Red earlier. This plays into the cartoon's joke about the wolves' fickle romantic nature, they're drawn to whichever Red is currently in front of them, whether country or city.

The city wolf's instant attraction to the photograph of City Red establishes his pattern of being seduced by whatever attractive figure he encounters.

After returning to the farm, the country wolf decides city life suits him better. He tells his city cousin that country life is 'not for him' and they drive off toward the city together, leaving Country Red waiting. The cartoon ends unresolved, with the wolves chasing the allure of urban glamour.

City Red performs a seductive song-and-dance number titled 'Oh Wolfie' at the nightclub. The playful tune is a wink to classic showmanship, with the flirtatious lyrics and performance designed to tantalize the wolves in the audience. The routine nods to earlier Tex Avery cartoons like Swing Shift Cinderella.

Red carries a moonshine bottle instead of the traditional basket of food, setting the hillbilly tone for this twisted fairy tale version. This visual gag establishes the cartoon's rural, moonshine-fueled humor from the very start.

The country wolf and city wolf are cousins. The country wolf is a hillbilly who speaks in a rural dialect, while his city cousin is wealthy, suave, and sophisticated, imitating the refined speech of George Sanders. Their dynamic represents a cultural clash between rural and urban lifestyles.
