Hansel and Gretel are abandoned in the forest by a cruel parent who does not want extra mouths to feed. Their clever scheme to leave a trail they can follow back home fails, and they are drawn to a strange house in which lives an evil witch. Things look grim, but they receive help from some unexpected sources....
