The story begins with Bugs Bunny reading the classic fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. Witch Hazel plays the witch who tries to cook and eat the children (her cookbook has such recipes as Waif Waffles, Moppet Muffins, Kiddie Kippers, Children Chops, and Smorgas Boy ). Bugs witnesses Witch Hazel coaxing the children inside and goes in her house, disguised as a truant officer, and saves the youths from her clutches. The children both turn to Hazel as they leave and say in a thick German accent: Ach your mother rides a vacuum cleaner
