Klunk claimed that she could spin straw into gold and she has been ordered to complete this task for the King. While locked in a room full of straw a magical dwarf appears. In her desperate situation, Marie and the dwarf make a deal. He offers to spin all the straw into gold, but for a price. In her hour of need, the miller's daughter consents. A year later, Marie is married to the king and bears him a child. All of a sudden, the dwarf reappears, reminding her of the fateful deal they made one year ago. Terrified, Marie makes yet another deal with the Dwarf. The dwarf agrees. This time, she enlists the help of the castle subjects to help her cause. The classic fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm».
