Cartoon Synopsis:

The scene painted on a Dutch plate sitting in a china cabinet comes to life. It's a simple tale of a Dutch Hans(el) and Gretel and their pet duck, who play around a mill inhabited by the town miser. The miser catches the children spying on him as he counts his gold and ties them up, threatening to burn their tongues out.

The duck alerts the townspeople, and they clean up the old mill and the miser. In the process, the miser realizes that all his gold did not bring him happiness.
