Siblings Hansel and Gretel neglect their chores and decide to play games instead. Their mother returns and sends the children off to the forest. The children play in the wood, but become lost. They fall asleep, watched over by the creatures of the forest. The next morning, they discover a house made of cake: it is where the Witch lives! She tricks them inside and uses magic to trap Hansel. With Gretel’s help Hansel is freed and they in turn trick the Witch, who comes to a sticky end. As the Witch’s powers of enchantment are lifted, all the children trapped by the Witch are freed, and Hansel and Gretel are reunited with their parents.
