A brother and sister are forced to flee their home after their father trades them to a witch in exchange for food. The witch locks the children in a cottage made of gingerbread and sweets, but they outsmart her by eating their way through the house and escaping. They eventually find themselves lost in the forest, where they stumble upon a group of dwarfs who are being terrorized by a wicked queen.
