The boys Kuba and Shruba travel by vacuum cleaner to a dark forest. The two brothers reach a clearing where they see a strange house made of gingerbread. There is nobody around. The hungry boys tear off pieces of the house's gingerbread walls and eat them. But then a witch comes on her broomstick and begins feeding Shruba lots of sweets and locks Kuba in a cage with Grettel. Wild boars open the cage and the children run away from the witch.
