The wolf, portrayed as a human lothario, intercepts Red on her way to visit her ailing grandmother, leading to a perilous confrontation that is thwarted by the intervention of a heroic airplane pilot. This animated short film, crafted by the imaginative minds of Walt Disney and writers Walt Pfeiffer and Charles Perrault, weaves a unique narrative that blends elements of adventure, danger, and redemption, set against the backdrop of a fantastical, early 20th-century landscape.
Synopsis
Mother is making donuts: She throws up a circle of dough, and a cat shoots a hole in it. Later, he fishes them out of the oil with a fishing line; he eats one, and loses all nine lives. Mother puts together a basket for Red to take to Granny. Red uses her cart, which is pushed by her little dog; the cart gets a flat tire, and she inflates a donut to replace it. A wolf (a human lothario) drives by in a flivver, and dashes off to Grandma's house, where he finds a note saying she's gone to the movies. He shrinks his car and stashes it in his pocket, then waits for Red, who stopped to watch a dancing flower. Red arrives, and they go into the house, where he attempts to have his way with her. The dog rushes off and gets help from an airplane pilot, who uses a skyhook to remove the house and, ultimately, lift the wolf in his car and drop him in the lake.
