Spoilers ahead
This wartime animated spoof of The Three Little Pigs is narrated by Frank Graham. It reimagines the familiar fable against a Second World War backdrop, placing Pigmania at risk from Adolf Wolf—a caricature of Adolf Hitler—who is determined to invade. The stone-house defender, Sergeant Pork, the Third Pig Pinto Colvig (voice), takes his duty seriously, outfitting his home with defense machinery and sturdy fortifications.
Meanwhile, the two other pigs who built their homes from straw and sticks scoff at the idea of preparations, insisting they signed a non-aggression pact with the wolf and cannot be threatened by his actions.
