Inviato a vendere il cavallo e il carro al mercato e tornato con solo dei fagioli in mano Jack è sgridato dallo zio che incautamente getta i fagioli nell'acqua causandone l'esplosione in una pianta gigantesca che si erge fino a sopra le nuvole. Come l'antica leggenda racconta, lì dove la pianta finisce ci sono i giganti, una razza che si nutre di umani, già un tempo scacciata dalla Terra e desiderosa di vendetta.
