action
There is fear in the city: Twelve bakers have already fallen victim to a mysterious murderer. Wallace and his dog Gromit have also opened a bakery shop in town, and while Gromit is concerned, Wallace is all right - fewer bakers mean more sales for him.
On a delivery tour, Wallace and Gromit meet Piella, who Wallace is known from advertising as "Backleichtfee". He falls head over heels in love with her and also saves her life. Together with her poodle Flauschi (Original: "Fluffles") Piella is now a frequently seen guest at Wallace and Gromit. Your house will soon be given a plush, flowery design and Gromit sees his favorite chewing bone disappear in the garbage. When Piella forgets her wallet at Wallace's, Gromit has to bring it to her house. There he discovers numbered mannequins with chef clothes. Number 13 - an allusion to the English " baker's dozen " - is still empty and Gromit realizes that the baking light fairy is the murderer and Wallace is in great danger.
He tries to warn Wallace about Piella, but he is blind to love. Piella's first attempt at murder goes wrong. The second time she sends him a cake with a bomb in it. Gromit is imprisoned by Piella, but manages to escape with Flauschi and alert Wallace to the bomb. Piella now tells Wallace about her hatred of all bakers: she was the baking light fairy, but was dismissed because she had become overweight due to the excessive consumption of baked goods and the baking light fairy balloon could no longer carry her. After all sorts of chaotic entanglements, Gromit can use a batter to render the bomb harmless. Piella, who tries to escape in the backlight fairy balloon, falls into the crocodile pool of the city zoo and is eaten up. Wallace and Gromit take Flauschi in and now the three of them deliver baked goods.
