Madame Fetid is a supremely vain, horribly wicked witch. To retain her youth, magic requires that she eat living things - plants, insects - people. Ah, people, very good - powerful youth potion. And children, oh the very best of all, those wonderful, succulent life-giving little creatures. Fetid drools at the thought of having young Ben, a sprightly fellow from a nearby village, over for dinner. She conjures a plan to lure him into her dilapidated, bewitched old house. How on earth is a simple village boy to escape the clutches of Fetid’s powerful magic, and her entourage of comical, but vindictive talking insects? Well, Ben’s probably done for - but then there’s Big, a ferocious cave troll, also on Fetid’s menu. With Ben’s brain, and Big’s brawn, maybe, just maybe, Fetid has bitten off more than she can chew this time - nah, she is a powerful witch, after all.
