Und damit liegt er ganz richtig, denn unter der Puderperücke und Samtbrokat verbirgt sich niemand anderes als der böse Wolf. Yoyo und Doc Croc versuchen alles, um Rotkäppchen zu warnen. Doch wie warnt man jemanden, der nicht gewarnt werden will?

Dabei tanzt sie doch so gerne… Zum Glück gibt es da noch die geheimnisvolle weiße Taube auf dem Mandelbäumchen am Grab von Aschenputtels Mutter. Sie weiß immer Rat.
