Roll up, roll up, the three little pigs have captured the big bad wolf and perform all sort of circus tricks with him - without being bitten. Watch poor wolf as the self-satisfied little pigs dress him up, ride him like a horse, throw knives at him, shoot him through the air and saw him in half. Now for the ultimate circus act, when the performer places his head between the mighty jaws of a wild animal ...

A wonderful take on the traditional story and a hilarious, though cautionary, tale about never pushing your luck too far.
