action

A woman enters a restaurant with a wolf, they sit down at a table and the woman asks what the wolf is doing here, so far from home. He's waiting for an old friend, she, to babysit the kids in the house across the street. Regarding the fairy tale book that she carries with her for it, the wolf says that he hates Little Red Riding Hood and that Snow White has blonde hair at the moment. He had two nephews who were murdered by Little Red Riding Hood.

He tells how Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White meet and befriend each other at the funeral of Snow White's mother. The king, Snow White's father, finds a new queen, the stepmother with the mirror. Years later, Snow White has grown up and the mirror tells the Queen that Snow White has overtaken her beauty. She assigns the hunter to murder Snow White. Then the first nephew of the wolf leaves the forest and goes into town. There the Little Red Riding Hood visits grandmother and eats her. Since he is still hungry, he decides to wait for Little Red Riding Hood to visit. In the meantime, the hunter kidnaps Snow White. Little Red Riding Hood tries to stop him, but fails. The hunter drops his pistol. When Little Red Riding Hood comes back home, she finds the wolf instead of her grandmother. Little Red Riding Hood shoots the wolf with the hunter's weapon, and she processes its fur into a fur coat. At the same time, Snow White begs the hunter to let her live. He lets her go and buys a heart from the butcher to prove Snow White's death to the queen. This eats the heart raw. Snow White escapes from town and moves in with seven men, all of them former jockeys . They put their entire fortune in horse bets, which Snow White wants to change. Little Red Riding Hood meets the wolf in the forest while she mourns Snow White, whose death she believes. When he notices that she is wearing his nephew's fur, he hastily leaves her.

The wolf's second nephew ate two pigs, they want to build houses out of straw and sticks and for this they got Little Red Riding Hood's savings from the “pig banker”. When the wolf sees the third pig in the bank, he procures dynamite. The pig banker calls Little Red Riding Hood for help and when the wolf ignites the dynamite, Little Red Riding Hood shoots him with the hunter's pistol. But the bank pig does not want to reward her, he stole her piggy bank and the savings of the others himself. Then he is also shot by Little Red Riding Hood. Snow White steals the stepmother's mirror and can predict the jockeys who will win the next race. They put all their fortune and Snow White meets with Little Red Riding Hood, who is happy to see her friend alive. She stakes the pig banker's money and after all they are all millionaires, have two wolf fur coats and a pigskin suitcase.

During the story, the wolf tied the woman, is now wearing her clothes and is waiting. The residents of the house across the street are Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White, who leave Little Red Riding Hood's two children at home alone. The wolf then enters the house and meets the children, who immediately recognize the wolf. The boy shows no fear, the older girl is afraid. The boy cooks a stew with the wolf because the wolf is hungry. When the boy asks, the wolf replies that he wants to eat him. But the girl calls for fairy tale time, the wolf sets the timer and they go to the sofa.

There he tells them the story of Cinderella and Hans the Beanstalk. Hans lives next door to Cinderella and spies on her. The two older sisters are really looking forward to going to the ball, but Cinderella is not allowed to go with them. So she stays at home, although she would like to come with me. Hans has an angry mother who beats him and asks him to sell his cow. Instead, he goes to a magic goods store and trades the cow for a magic bean. When he comes home and the mother sees that the cow has been exchanged for a bean, she hits him with a vacuum cleaner and throws the bean in the trash can. Meanwhile, a fairy gives Cinderella everything she needs for the ball, but she is supposed to be home before midnight. Then Cinderella goes out and dances with the prince. Shortly before midnight she runs home quickly. The prince tries to stop her and tears her dress off. Cinderella continues walking in her underwear and leaves her slippers. The prince takes them and wants to marry whoever they suit. One of the stepsisters hears this and replaces the shoes with her own. The next day, a huge beanstalk with golden leaves grew from the magic bean. Hans climb to the top where he sees a giant. Hans flees and tells his mother about it. When she only asks him to finally bathe, he sends her up the bean, where she is eaten by the giant. Hans is sad, but nevertheless decides to bathe in order to finally get rid of the stench. Without the stench, the giant can no longer smell it. In the meantime, the prince is looking for the owner of the shoe. When that fits the stepsister, the prince refuses. The stepsister reminds him of his oath and is then beheaded - without a head she is more beautiful. When Cinderella found out, she didn't want to marry him and should also be beheaded. Then Little Red Riding Hood's daughter says that the fairy should appear again. Cinderella can wish to have no more money and no longer desire the prince. The prince is turned into a toad and Cinderella asks for a decent man. The fairy leads her to Hans, whom she finally marries. The two have two children and are happy, if not rich.

After the wolf finished the story, the children fell asleep. Little Red Riding Hood comes home and sees the babysitter's book and the disguised wolf. He leaves the house and, while Little Red Riding Hood is eating the wolf's soup, the city by bus towards the forest.
