Albert's dad is a Master Baker, so Albert will become one too, right?

Wrong!

Albert's not interested in baking. He likes football. Cricket. Tennis. Or any other sport you could name.

But Albert's dad still needs help in the family bakery, so he builds a machine like no other: the Doughmaster 5000. It seems to have solved all their problems, until one night, Dad's miracle solution turns into a rampaging disaster.

It's up to Albert to fix the mess - but will his sporting skills save him now?
