Ah, ze power of l'amour! A starving wolf, perishing from wartime meat rationing (he's so famished that when he swallows a solitary pea you can hear its landing reverberate around his hollow tummy) learns that a champion sheepdog has abandoned his flock to join the Army. The delighted wolf zooms off to gorge on unprotected sheep only to learn that they've been left in the charge of the tough-as-nails, wolf-destroying ram "Killer Diller". What to do? Well, since it's a Warner cartoon, what else?--he gets a sheep costume, dresses as a sexy ewe with long eyelashes and flowered sarong, and vamps the ram! Who, not to be outdone, promptly turns into an ovine Pepe le Pew, complete with Charles Boyer-accented heavy-breathing seduction routine, and gives the wolf a lot more than he bargained for. I would die before I'd give away the ending, but let's just say it opens possibilities Fred Quimby would never have countenanced...=) A wacky little gem with Tashlin's signature pacing and some reaction takes you'll have to see to believe.
