An evil witch needs Jacob, the kind-hearted shoemaker's son, in order to carry out her sinister plans. When Jacob refuses, the witch takes away seven years of his life and turns him into an ugly dwarf. The witch is sure that this misfortune will be too much for Jacob to bear and that he will give in and help her.

With seven years gone, Jacob returns to his home as a dwarf but nothing is the same. His father has died from grief and even his own mother can't recognize him. The people of the town mock him and drive him away. Jacob does not know what to do.

And then one day while running away from his persecutors, Jacob saves the life of a goose. But this is not an ordinary goose, it is the King's daughter Princess Greta, who was kidnapped and put under a spell when she discovered the witch in her father's library stealing the secret that will give her the power to rule the kingdom.

Jacob and the Princess join together to get back to their families and stop the witch's evil plan.
