A young girl, Little Red-Cap, visits her sick grandmother who lives at the edge of a forest. She takes a basket with food and is warned by a woodsman to stay on the path. A wolf tricks her into leaving the path and eats the grandmother. The wolf then disguises himself as the grandmother and waits for Little Red-Cap's return. When she arrives, he eats her too.
