The short opens with the Wolf describing to his sons the edible parts of a pig, pointing them out on diagrams in a version of the Schnitzelbank song. The cubs, after pelting their father with stones shot from slingshots just for a prank (first at his hat which falls off, then, as he picks up his hat, his rear), and after he threateningly exclaims that he'll blow their ears off if they don't behave ("Hey, cut it out or Pop'll blow your ears off!"), sing and dance to "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" Then it fades to Fifer and Fiddler Pig doing exactly the same thing of singing and dancing. They then discover a wolf alarm (used for emergencies only) and then they discover their brother Practical Pig building a contraption called a Wolf Pacifier. Fifer and Fiddler then play around with the alarm (which is in the form of a horn) to get Practical's attention and when he discovers that it was just a trick, he warns his brothers, "Someday the Wolf'll get ya. Then you'll be in a fix. You'll blow that horn and I won't come. I'll think it's one of your tricks." He then storms off in a huff, but not before Fifer and Fiddler scare him again by blowing the horn right behind him, causing him to fire a big hole in the top of his hat with his blunderbuss.<ref name=disneyshorts.org></ref>
