Wallace, who is an inventor, and his faithful dog, Gromit, have started a new business – a bakery. They have converted their home into a windmill, where they make the bread, and then they deliver it around the neighbourhood. Wallace is happy with their new life, despite the fact that twelve local bakers have been found dead in the last few months.

Aardman Studios specialises in producing animated films using clay models. They first became famous for producing Wallace and Gromit, and are now the most famous model animation studios in the world.
