Spoilers ahead
Once upon a time, in a playful fairy-tale frame, the Three Little Pigs read their story and decide to cash in by selling their straw and wooden houses to dodge the Big Bad Wolf’s wrath. Bugs Bunny quickly falls for their scheme, purchasing the straw house as a quick payday, only to watch the Wolf blow it down in a gust of exaggerated wind. He then tries the wooden house, but the same comic gust collapses it as well, leaving Bugs with a goofy grin and a trail of tossed lumber.
