The town's shepherd boy has been hanging with the wrong crowd. To liven things up, they like to play practical jokes, do silly dares, and all other sorts of childhood shenanigans. An up-to-no-good wolf decides to use the boy’s poor choice for friends to his advantage. He convinces the boy to lie and play practical jokes on the townspeople just for fun. The boy is having a good old' time until he realizes the Wolf has set his sights on the sheep! Despite his desperate warnings, nobody takes any action because they think he's still fooling them! Will he discover the value of character, responsibility, and truthfulness in time to save his herd? You can bet he does-- but not before he turns up the heat on that ol’ Wolf!
