What happens

Woolen Under Where is a 1963 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon co-directed by Phil Monroe and Richard Thompson. The short was released on May 11, 1963, and stars Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog. Mel Blanc provided for the voices in this cartoon, however, like all Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog shorts, this short is mostly composed of visual gags. It is the seventh and final short featuring Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog. The title is a play on "woolen underwear". The short is notably the only instalment in the Ralph/Sam series to not be directed by Chuck Jones, who was fired early in production. However, Jones was still responsible for writing the story and is credited as such. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
