I due fratelli Hansel e Gretel, svegliati nel cuore della notte e abbandonati nel bosco dal padre, finiscono nella casa di una strega che intende cucinarli. Con fortuna ed abilità riescono non solo a fuggire ma anche ad uccidere la strega in questione. Quest'episodio trasforma la loro vita, che da quel momento in poi i due decidono di dedicare alla lotta alle streghe, diventando in pochi anni i più noti e abili cacciatori del campo. Così bravi da essere chiamati a risolvere un problema grosso in un paesino particolarmente infestato.
