Got dirty windows? Never fear, Wallace and his faith pooch, Gromit, have started a window cleaning operation incorporating Wallace's latest mad inventions. On one job, the befuddled inventor meets Wendolene Ramsbottom, the seemingly innocuous owner of a yarn shop. It's love at first sight, but their romance is interrupted when Gromit is accused of being a cold-blooded sheep killer. When Gromit is thrown into jail, it's up to Wallace and a skinny sheep named Shaun to save him. With a bigger staff

The third and final of the "Wallace & Gromit" shorts is perhaps the most exciting

The third Wallace and Gromit film ... manages to top its predecessor with a series of even more impressively staged sight gags and action sequences.

A comedic gem. A short with more laughs than most full-length films.

out of all the wallace and gromit shorts this is my favorite. The action is great, the comedy, of course, is spot on, the animation as with all of the shorts is great to look at, and it has a great, dark, and gripping story.
