Summary[]
Goat Village is attacked by the Seven Evil Wolves, and Wolffy captures a few of the goats before Weslie enters the scene with a ray gun and fights off the wolves. Wolffy tells Weslie he thinks goats and wolves can co-exist in peace, but the shadowed figure of Chapper appears and says they can’t. Weslie wakes up, revealing the previous occurrences were just a dream. Weslie wonders if goats and wolves really can live in harmony, and afterwards Sparky rings a bell outside to alert the village of the Seven Evil Wolves arriving.
The wolves try to pole-vault over the village gate, but are shot down by Weslie with a water gun before being catapulted into the air by a spring trap activated by Mr. Slowy below their feet. Right before the trap launches the wolves, Wolffy shouts that he believes their two species can co-exist in harmony, and Weslie starts to look forlorn and catches Slowy’s attention.
The wolves are all sent flying to Wolf Castle, with Wolffy landing on the outside floor and being pushed into the room below when the others land on him. Wolffy manages to hold all the other wolves despite their combined weight straining him, but an envelope lands on his head and creates enough weight on him to make him fall down. The wolves read the letter and find out that Chapper is coming to Goat Village to help them catch the goats. One of the wolves notice Wolffy is mentioned in the letter as well and reads that section, revealing Chapper has relinquished Wolffy of his goat-catching duties, much to Wolffy’s surprise.
Meanwhile, Weslie asks Slowy if their rival species can really live peacefully with them, and Slowy tells him he’ll have to find that out himself. The two go to a storage house so that Weslie can clean it up; the scene then cuts to Wolffy setting up a ditch as a trap for Chapper so that he can save him from it and regain his wolf identity. When the General’s car does appear, the other wolves come to greet him as well and fall into the trap. The General throws a chip at a bird in the sky and has it carry his car over the ditch, but drops his suitcase on Wolffy.
Back at the storehouse, Weslie is still working on cleaning stuff up. Meanwhile, Wolffy notices the General’s suitcase and thinks he can impress him if he packs the spilled contents back up and return it to him. Weslie cleaning up the storage house and Wolffy packing up the luggage are both synchronized with each other in a short montage; Weslie is called by Sparky to go visit the village chief after he finds a ray gun in one of the boxes, and Wolffy finds one of Chapper’s functional chips and uses it, transforming him into a dog. Wolffy panics and runs off to bring the General his suitcase.
Chapper and his car make a landing in front of the gate to Goat Village, and the other wolves are excited to see him and say he’s awesome. Wolffy as a dog arrives with the suitcase but gets angry when Darker calls him “useless” in comparison to Chapper. Darker notices the luggage Wolffy brought with him and goes to grab it, and Wolffy tries to stop him and lands in a puddle a frog is standing on. The other wolves can’t believe Darker is making headway and go to capture goats to keep up with him; they’re unsuccessful once again because a giant fly swatter set up by Mr. Slowy sends them flying right onto Darker as he’s bringing the case to Chapper, who calls the wolves “useless” and comes up to Wolffy, telling him “you should go.” Wolffy thinks the General is talking to him, but he’s actually referring to the frog on his head, which he uses a chip on to make it gigantic. The wolves ride on the giant frog, which Mr. Slowy tries to fend off using the fly swatter, but the frog is too big and breaks the swatter. The frog grabs the chief with his tongue, and Weslie runs towards the other goats and notices something glowing in his pocket. It’s the pistol he found in the storage room, which he uses to shoot the frog and freeze it. The other goats congratulate him before Slowy warns them all to run away since the giant frog is about to fall on them. The episode ends with everyone looking at the frozen frog after it has hit the ground.
