Plot

A little mouse asks her grandmother to tell her a bedtime story. The old woman tells the story of Little Red Riding Hood, with her granddaughter as the protagonist. Little Red Riding Hood, on her way to her grandmother's house, is chased by Sylvester, disguised as the Big Bad Wolf, who takes a shortcut to get there before the little girl. Sylvester chases the other cats out of bed, then dresses up as her grandmother. When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she begins to list the things that are wrong with "grandmother," until she notices her large teeth. Sylvester declares that they are "the better to eat you," thus initiating a chase. Thanks to her cunning, Little Red Riding Hood manages to throw Sylvester out of the house. The cat then tries to kill Little Red Riding Hood in two ways, but in both cases, Hector the Bulldog ensures that the whole thing backfires on Sylvester. When the latter manages to capture Little Red Riding Hood, she builds a miniature tank, which she uses to shoot Sylvester, who chases her, trapping her in the hole. The little mouse then asks her grandmother what happened to Little Red Riding Hood; the old woman explains that she found some fireworks and, after lighting the fuse, threw the firecracker at Sylvester, demonstrating to her granddaughter. The little mouse states that she is sure she blew Sylvester up, to which the cat, singed by the firecracker, agrees.
