A lighthearted cartoon short built entirely on slapstick comedy and escalating physical gags, where a scheming wolf repeatedly fails to outwit a protective sheepdog.

Ralph Wolf tries to forcibly remove Sam Sheepdog in order to gain access to a flock of sheep. Without success, he uses a lasso, cannon, a string of firecrackers, and a giant rubber band.
