The story of Jack and the Beanstalk gets interrupted by Larry -- the old guy who sells Jack his magic beans. Larry gets to tell his story, which begins during the Great Fairytale Wars, when Larry owned a milk bar. He stayed neutral in the war, but one day his old friend Humpty Dumpty burst in with urgent news: a giant in the sky started the war. Larry decides to join the fight, but not without the help of his friends Pinocchio, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, and, of course, a boy with an axe named Jack.
