The story is a retelling of The Three Little Pigs from the perspective of the wolf, named Alexander. Alexander attempts to request sugar from each of his neighbors, the three pigs, for baking a cake for his grandmother. Alexander accidentally kills the first and second pigs after his sneezes destroy their straw and stick houses. The third pig in the brick house refuses to give any sugar and insults Alexander's grandmother. Enraged, Alexander attempts to break down the front door. He is swiftly arrested by the pig police and sentenced to 10,000 years in prison for the first two pigs' deaths. Alexander states that the news coverage of the events was highly exaggerated, leading to his reputation as the Big Bad Wolf.
