The hag offers Hansel a whole roasted turkey, which he allows a rat to eat.

Gretel, however, is hung on a column of the house, reserved for some later purpose. The hag places Hansel in a cage to be fattened before she eats him. Upon entry, the two little rabbits are met by a hag who grabs them. Lost in the forest, Hansel and Gretel come across a cottage made of candy. Hansel is optimistic that he and his sister will have no trouble getting home, but to his dismay, discovers that forest birds have eaten the sunflower seeds. Eventually the stepmother tells the children cover their eyes, pretending she has a surprise for them, and abandons them. Hansel picks up a sunflower, and drops its seeds on the way to mark their path. The next day, the stepmother takes the children into the forest. Hansel and Gretel overhear their conversation.

(When the children protest, the stepmother replies, 'I should worry! Nuts to you!') The stepmother then talks to the father about taking the children deep in the forest to be abandoned.

One day the stepmother is irritated by the food shortage, and makes the children go to bed without dinner. Although they have little resources, they are happy. Hansel (Oswald the Lucky Rabbit) and Gretel are two simple children who live with their father and stepmother. The film is an adaptation of the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel by the Brothers Grimm, and is one of the few Oswald shorts in which he plays a different character. The Candy House is a 1934 short animated film by Walter Lantz Productions featuring Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
