Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Mr. Wolf stands trial before a jury of his peers in the case of Wolf vs. Little Red Riding Hood (another Katharine Hepburn soundalike). Though he has guilt written all over his face--literally--Mr. Wolf persists in telling his side of the story, in which he is the wholly innocent victim of the predatory Red and her nasty Grandma, who happens to be in the fur-coat business. Several role-reversal gags later, we return to the courtroom, where the Wolf declares that if he's been lying, "I hope I get run over by streetcar." Mmmmm...it's a possibility!
