Wolf down duck in bacon sandwich (4)

I believe the answer is:

bolt

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wolf down' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'duck in bacon sandwich' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'duck' could be 'o' (resembles zero - 'duck' in cricket) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'sandwich' could be 'blt' (BLT is an example) and 'blt' is found in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bolt that I've seen before include "Run away; bar of lock" , "Lightning flash, fasten" , "Runner" , "Flash of lightening - run away" , "From the blue, it's a big surprise" .)
