The Story:

Signtown is so full that there is hardly any room left to build new homes there, so, on the advice of their mother, Pig Sow, the Three Little Pigs decide to build their new homes outside Signtown. Pig Miles, the youngest of the three, loves straw and wants to build a house made of straw. Pig Miner favours wood and wants to build a wooden house. Pig Maginn, the oldest and smartest of the three, is a bricklayer and wants to build a brick house. However, a familiar face, wanted by the Signtown police for a previous assault on Red Riding Hood and her grandmother, returns and destroys Miles and Miners houses with his infamous big blows. Can he outsmart Maginn, the smartest pig of all, in order to destroy his beloved brick house and gobble up all the Three Little Pigs…?
