Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Tex Avery cross-breeds the stories of Goldilocks and Little Red Riding Hood in his inimitable fashion. While the Three Bears take a bike ride in the woods until their porridge cools off, Goldilocks (appearing "courtesy of Mervyn LeBoy Pictures") shows up at Grandma's house by mistake--where the Wolf, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Red Riding Hood, tells her to beat it. Later, the Wolf gets tired of waiting for Red and heads to the Three Bears' place to gobble up Goldilocks. Inevitably, the Bears come home, little suspecting that there's an interloper from another fairy tale in their bedroom!
