La perfida regina ordina al suo cacciatore di uccidere Biancaneve che lo specchio parlante ha definito la più bella del reame. La ragazza fugge. Guidata dagli animaletti del bosco, arriva alla casa dei sette nani. Eolo, Mammolo, Pisolo, Brontolo, Dotto, Gongolo e Cucciolo la accolgono e la proteggono. Quando la regina, trasformatasi in strega, arriva per ucciderla, i nanetti inseguono la cattiva che precipita da un burrone. Biancaneve, vegliata dai suoi amici come morta, torna in vita quando viene baciata dal giovane principe innamorato.
