Schoolteacher Andy Wilson makes his usual morning stop for coffee and donuts at Dora's Home Bakery. Today he enjoys talking to Dora so much that he is late to school for the first time.

Playing the three parts
myself of the little girl,

the grandmother, and the wolf.

-And the bear?

-And the bear.

There is no bear,
ladies and gentlemen.

Once upon a time,
there was a little girl

called Little Red Riding Hood.

-Mr. Wilson!

-What is it?

What?

-You have on the wolf's head!

-Uh.

Yeah.

Uh.

All right.

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.

Little mistake.

There was a little girl
called Little Red Riding Hood.

She was going to
visit her grandmother

in the middle of the forest.

-The trees were chirping to the
birds-- chirped-- the-- uh--

the grandmother was
sound asleep in bed.

-There's a knock
at that the door.

And the grandmother wakes up.

-The grandmother
wakes up, Shirley!

Would you please-- get away
from here, will you please?

Naturally the grandmother thinks
it is Little Red Riding Hood.

But it isn't.

Who is it?

It's the great, big hungry wolf.

-Mind your business.

-Where's the wolf?

Where?

Who's got the wolf?

The wolf.

-Wherever that woman is
there's always trouble.

-There certainly is.

-Quiet!

I'm going home.

-Listen.

We're in the middle
of the program.

Please. Shh.

Would you get out of here?

Get out!

Hurry up!

-Get them out of here.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this program

I'll find the wolf's head.

There's only a little--

-That's enough.

I've had enough of it.

-Oh.

Be careful.

Don't you--

That's the straw.

-I said get out.

-Get him, men.

Get him.

-Dora's Dunking Doughnuts.

There's no--

-Cheer up, Andy.

You did your best.

-Oh, sure.

But I just wasted all Miss
Dora's money for nothing.

-You know, Miss
Dora, I had no idea

the program was such a
success till after I'd

thrown Mr. Wilson out.

-Success?

Why, we're simply
swamped with orders.

-That's great.

But to make amends
I want to offer

Mr. Wilson and your doughnut
program free time for a month.

Will you sign here please?

In the bottom line.

So you me out
your radio station, huh?

-Andy!

Andy, what are you doing?

-If it hadn't been for him
we'd have been a success.

-You were a success!

He simply came to apologize.

-He came-- he came to apologize?

-Yes.

-I'm sorry.

-I'll see you on the air
Friday at two o'clock.

-Well, sure.

And I was a success?

Why that comedy
you staged was a riot.

Comedy?

-Yes.

How did you ever come
to think of it, Andy?

-It just happened.

Boys, the band!
