The short has a retelling of The Three Little Pigs, and as the Big Bad Wolf tries to blow down the third pig's brick house, he swears he will be back and try to get in until Christmas. It was during that Christmas, the third pig got married and had a child. The Big Bad Wolf makes good on his threat, disguising himself as Santa Claus, but Junior sees through his disguise.
The cartoon short provides examples of:
- Bad Santa: The wolf disguises himself as Santa Claus to get inside the house and get the pigs, but Junior is onto him.
- Banister Slide: Junior slides down the banister towards a Priceless Ming Vase, but stops at the very last second, commenting on his "good breaks."
- Battle Discretion Shot: The climax where Junior and the Wolf get into a fight in the kitchen. Junior even warns the audience of how gruesome the fight will be. As the fight progresses, they wake up the parents. Junior wins the fight and steals the wolf's pelt and converts it into a fur coat as a present for his mother.
- Broken Record: As the narrator gets to the part of the story where the Wolf tries to blow the brick house down, he repeats "And he huffed and puffed and huffed and puffed..." over and over at top speed, with the onscreen text following suit.
- Digital Destruction: The TV Turner prints for this cartoon suffered a nasty case of DVNR, almost to the point of it affecting moving backgrounds as well. Fortunately, the Tex Avery Screwball Classics Volume 3 DVD/Blu-ray release rectifies this by having a much more superior restoration without any DVNR.
- Elevator Gag: As the Wolf goes down the chimney as Santa, an elevator appears in the fireplace.
- Fast-Forward Gag: As the narrator starts telling the story of The Three Little Pigs, his voice speeds up faster and faster.
- Fur Is Clothing: At the end, Junior gives his mother a fur coat for a present. It turns out to be the Wolf's fur, as indicated by the bandage on his tail. The Wolf then comes back wearing a Modesty Towel and takes it back for the Iris Out.
- Nails on a Blackboard: When the Wolf is indisposed, Junior decides to "heckle you folks out there" while he returns, so he takes out a chalkboard and a piece of chalk and screeches away.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Junior is based on Red Skelton's "Mean Widdle Kid" character, while the Wolf speaks like The Great Gildersleeve, complete with his Signature Laugh.
- No Fourth Wall: The Nails on a Blackboard gag and the Battle Discretion Shot.
- Pie in the Face: Junior bakes a pie just to hit the Wolf in the face with it.Junior: I hope you liked it. I baked it all by my little self.
- Rump Roast: The telegram Junior gives to the Wolf is pretty self-explanatory, followed by the Wolf trying to douse his burn wounds in a bucket of water, only for Junior to quickly swap it out with gasoline, blowing his butt to smithereens.Message: Dear Mr. Wolf, don’t look now – but your tail is on fire. Love, Jr. P.S.: Sucker!!
- Storybook Opening: The short opens on a book about the Three Little Pigs.
- Who Writes This Crap?!: At the end, after the Wolf takes his fur coat back and leaves, a sign on the door reads "Corny ending, isn't it?"
