To carry out her wicked plans, an evil witch needs the shoemaker's son named Jacob — a boy with a kind heart. Jacob refuses to take part in her evil deeds, so the witch turns him into a dwarf and sends him seven years into the future. She is certain that Jacob, unable to bear the ordeal, will return and help her. Jacob comes back home.
