Film Synopsis
Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it.
A kindly shepherd named George Hardy (Hugh Jackman) reads aloud detective novels to his flock every night. When George is found dead from poisoning in his meadow, the intelligent sheep—led by Lily (voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus)—realize it is murder and use the tropes from the stories they heard to solve the crime.
