Detailed summary
When Ding-a-Ling is reading the Three Little Pigs story, Hokey comes up with a plan to take the three pigs brick house so they could have a "nice cozy home for the winter". When walking, Ding-a-Ling, out of curiosity, asks Hokey how their going to get the Three Little Pigs out of their brick house, and asks Hokey if their going to huff and puff. Hokey in response with a chuckle tells Ding-a-Ling "That huff and puff stuff is old wolf style Ding-a-Ling. Today is brains, and mentality, and I've got it", just then they come across the Three Little Pigs brick house when they are having a barbecue. Hokey introduces himself to the Three Little Pigs, in which the Three Little Pigs start yelling "wolf!" getting Hokey irritated, Hokey yells for them to "Knock it off!" and lies about being part of the "Wolfpack insurance company" and is looking for a "Mr. Big Bad Wolf" because they believe he met with foul play and if so, it will go hard on the foul players. The Three Little Pigs pertain to not know the Big Bad Wolf and lie to Hokey that there use to be another three pigs in the neighborhood, but that they moved to Switzerland and suggested that they try there. Hokey (obviously not buying it) pretends to go there. Soon after, the Three Little Pigs share their terrifying past memories with the Big Bad Wolf and how he "burned up in the fireplace", Hokey, with Ding-a-Ling listening in on the Three Little Pigs, come up with an idea of dressing up as the Big Bad Wolf's ghost to "scare the curls off the pig's tails", after scaring them, they move out the next morning after being convinced that the place was haunted. They allow Hokey and Ding to "have it if they want it".

The next morning the Three Little Pigs are upset about losing their home, just then the Big Bad Wolf pops out of the brushes to tell them that he's turned over a new leaf with them. When they ask him if he burned up in the fireplace, he tells them he didn't in which they immediately become suspicious that Hokey tricked them out of their home. Hokey and Ding-a-Ling are enjoying their new home when suddenly one of the pigs calls out that their going to "huff and puff and blow the house down" Hokey laughs in disbelief to Ding-a-Ling. Just then, the Big Bad Wolf blows the brick house down with Hokey and Ding-a-Ling inside. The pigs laugh and Hokey and Ding are seen in a mess of bricks (formally being the brick house) confused on what just happened. Hokey starts reading through the story book.
