When Little Red Riding Hood does arrive, she tells her “grandmother” that she brought a rabbit for dinner, prompting the wolf to turn his appetite toward Bugs instead.

After once again evading the wolf thanks to another Little Red Riding Hood interruption, Bugs sneaks up on him by hiding inside his nightdress and scorches his backside with a hot coal.

Just as Bugs is about to drop a single piece of straw on top of the tower of heavy objects, Little Red Riding Hood once again loudly barges into the room.

Finally sick of Little Red Riding Hood's interruptions (and despite realizing that he'll "probably hate [himself] in the morning"), Bugs frees the wolf and puts her in his place.

[citation needed] Like other Bugs Bunny shorts released during World War II, this film features "a more violent rabbit with a more sadistic and mocking agenda".

[9] Another Warner cartoon, The Windblown Hare (1949) is primarily about The Three Little Pigs but takes a brief segue into a Red Riding Hood parody, with the Wolf playing the antagonist in both stories.

Friz Freleng had already directed four fairy-tale films: Beauty and the Beast (1934), The Miller's Daughter (1934), The Trial of Mister Wolf (1941), and Jack-Wabbit and the Beanstalk (1943).
