The fairy Kräuterweis transforms the boy Jakob into a dwarf. No one recognizes him now. But Jacob does not lose his courage to face life. Because he still has a trump card up his sleeve! When 12-year-old Jacob mocks an old woman at the market because of her big nose, he has no idea that he will soon regret his actions. A short time later, the boy is already a prisoner of the fairy Kräuterweis and is forced by her to cook for her and her guests for several years. And as if that wasn't punishment enough, she then transforms him into a dwarf with a large nose. After this transformation, no one recognizes him, not even his mother Hanne. And so he has no choice but to put his newfound cooking skills to good use with Duke Kunz the Gourmand.
