Synopsis

Elmyra, at the concert hall, introduces us to this alleged parody of "Peter and the Wolf," with each of our leads represented by a (usually inappropriate) instrument. Babs gets a harp, Furball gets a violin, Plucky is insulted with a bike horn, etc. They all run in great fear of a big, nasty wolverine who captures them and eats them all up, but Buster saves everyone in the end.
