The sheep dogs are going and coming to work, mainly Sam Sheepdog (named "Ralph" here) and his partner, Fred, who has the other shift that we don't see. They punch a time clock on a tree. Ralph also has his lunch box and sandwich: two slices of bread with a bone in the middle.
Meanwhile, Wile E. Coyote (not named that, but that's who we know him as) lurks nearby seeing nice juicy slabs of meat every time he looks at a sheep.
The story is basically about the dog protecting the sheep from the wolf. The funny bits come from the lengths the wolf goes to, to get his meal for the day, and how he's constantly thwarted. In fact, some of these scenes are hilarious and very clever.
All of these things make this an outstanding animated short, one of the best of its time.
