In the peaceful village of Little Knaphill, Jack Trott lives with his poor but loving mother, Dame Trott, his brother Simple Simon, and their beloved cow, Daisy. Times are tough, and when low on money, Dame Trott sends Jack to the market to sell Daisy for some much needed funds.
But Jack, being a bit too trusting, trades Daisy for a handful of "magic beans" from a mysterious stranger. His mother is furious and throws the beans out of the window... only to wake the next morning to find a giant beanstalk growing sky-high into the clouds!
Jack, full of courage (and maybe a little curiosity), climbs the beanstalk and discovers a magical land in the sky ruled by a fearsome Giant Blunderbore and his henchman, the evil Slyrot. The Giant has been terrorising the village for years and has now kidnapped Princess Isabella.
