A wrench is thrown in when a witch appears to grant the Baker and his wifes wish, but they must first bring her ingredients to create the spell. ; a cow as white as milk, a cape as red as blood, hair as yellow as corn, and a slipper as pure as gold. Watch how each of these characters helps the other to fight villains, face their fears, and make all their dreams come true.
