Plot
The Story begins with Professor Marcus and his accomplices in The Fat Controller’s office, he tells them how Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, and James are no longer of use to him and that he wants them dead immediately. Marcus is initially reluctant but agrees after seeing the money they could earn, The Fat Controller says they shall stay with Mrs. Wilberforce since she lives near the railway station and before sending them away, warns the gang he'll be watching them.

The gang stay the night at Mrs. Wilberforce's house and on the following mourning, they began their plans. Eliminating Thomas by switching the tracks and having him crash into Wallace, Gromit and Wendolene's home (who are all just about to have breakfast) at 62 West Wallaby Street. After nearly getting run over by Gru in his car, Major Courtney then eliminates Edward by dropping a guitar case stuffed with dynamite onto the track, causing a massive explosion on the line. This angers The Fat Controller who has just witnessed the explosion and visits the gang, telling them not to damage his railways whilst eliminating the redundant engines. Afterwards, the gang does so. Each of the engines is eliminated in varying ways, including One-Eye making Henry slip on oil and land on the ship, full of spaghetti, Harry hijacking Gordon and driving him into a ditch inhabited by Shrek, and Marcus stabbing James in the shower Psycho-style.

After dealing with the remainder of the engines, Marcus contacts The Fat Controller wanting to know where the money he showed them was, The Fat Controller says that he never actually promised the gang would be rewarded and refuses to pay them. This angers Marcus whose ranting attracts the attention of the rest of the gang and an altercation starts over the phone, which The Fat Controller simply hangs up on.

Once back in the car, Marcus and the gang agree to turn against and kill The Fat Controller for tricking them into murdering his engines for free. They track him down to a nightclub where he is throwing away the money he made appear was for Marcus and the gang, he spots them whilst leaving the nightclub and attempts to flee in his car, the gang give chase and cause him to crash into Mrs. Wilberforce's house, instantly killing him.

Later that night, Marcus and Louis take The Fat Controller’s body to a bridge above the railways where they dump him into the coal truck of a passing train, the train in question being pulled by Thomas. As the gang celebrate victory over The Fat Controller, Edward and Henry are shown to be recovering from their injuries. Thomas, meanwhile, is still stuck in Wallace's wall and is enjoying some crackers and cheese with him and Gromit.

The next morning, the gang are greeted by a worker of The Fat Controller, who brings them a large trunk that he had left to them in his will. The gang quickly takes it inside, and reads the note on it that was addressed to them. Unfortunately for the gang, the trunk is revealed to be containing a bomb that promptly explodes, killing the gang. The Fat Controller posthumously gets the last laugh. Mrs. Wilburforce is the only survivor of the explosion, as she is seen walking away from the house, saying she never liked the place anyway.

As the credits roll, James and Gordon are shown to have survived their assassination attempts and help the other engines in pursuing a roller-skating Fat Controller out of revenge for him wanting them dead.

A spaceship meanwhile, crashes down on top of Marcus as he picks up the briefcase full of money left behind by The Fat Controller.
