In a slight but amusing adaptation of a folktale, the baker wants Sanji, who lives above his shop, to pay for the pleasure he gets from the delicious smells that waft up from his bakery. A clever judge shows the baker just how silly his demands are. Energetic cartoons of watercolor and ink add to the sense of slapstick fun.
