Tom Thumb, the tiny hero of a classic fairy tale, is abandoned in a forest by his impoverished parents. He cleverly leaves a trail of stones to find his way back, but on a second attempt he only has breadcrumbs, which the birds promptly eat. Wandering further, he encounters a giant holding a fair princess captive, and bravely resolves to rescue her.
