Cartoon Synopsis:

No wolf (even one who brings his own knife and fork) can get the best of Betty. After some opening narration which informs us we're going to see Betty's version of "Little Red Riding Hood," we see Betty preparing to take a fish to her grandmother's house. Bimbo warns her that there's a wolf lurking in the forest and even the trees tell her to "Beware! Beware!" She walks into the forest, though, without a care, and the cartoon veers into a wonderful LSD-style trip. She loses her garter belt along the road and slides it back up her leg! The wolf does follow her, but Bimbo defeats him. Giving the old story a new twist, Bimbo kills the wolf, skins him (so that only the wolf's skeleton remains) and puts on the wolf's pelt to play up to Betty's wolf fetish. He places the fur atop himself and meets Betty at Grandma's house, taking the wolf's place in Grandma's bed. Betty sings "Where'd You Get Those Eyes?" before Bimbo reveals himself and plants a kiss on Betty's face. Betty gives in to Bimbo's advances!
