Father wakes up Gretel and Hansel and after bringing them into the forest, he leaves them. Gretel and Hansel then wander around the forest until they come to the home of Candy Witch who captures them. Candy Witch is about to cook and eat Hansel when Gretel helps him and they stuff Candy Witch into the oven. Many years later, Hansel and Gretel are hired by Mayor Engleman to find the missing children of Augsburg. After saving Mina, who was about to be killed by Sheriff Berringer, they head into the forest and kill Tall Witch, but don't find the children. That night Mayor Engleman introduces them to Jackson and at a bar they meet Ben. Gretel, Hansel and Jackson capture Horned Witch by setting a trap and bring her to Sheriff Berringer's jail. They find out from Horned Witch that the Witches intend on performing a ceremony during the blood moon and Gretel figures out that the Witches still need one child born in April. Gretel and Jackson stays in the prison to guard Horned Witch, while Hansel leaves to find the child. Muriel breaks into the prison and throws Gretel out of the prison where she is picked up by Ben and brought to safety. She wakes up and as she is searching for Hansel she is caught by Sheriff Berringer and his Deputies who attempt to rape Gretel before she is saved by Edward. Edward helps Gretel and tells her it is because trolls help witches. As Hansel is searching for Gretel, he finds their childhood home with Gretel inside. Muriel surprises them both, tells them the story of their parents, stabs Hansel and then takes Gretel away. Gretel is brought to the Witches' camp to be used as a sacrifice and she is tied to a stone. Hansel and Mina begin attacking the Witches and before Muriel can stab Gretel, Edward punches Muriel, but is then knocked off the cliff edge. Gretel gets free, however Muriel escapes. She then goes to help Edward and finds him unconscious. Gretel then uses an electrical gadget to restart his heart. Gretel finds Hansel and Muriel fighting at the site of the Candy Witch's home and she and Hansel use the end of a shovel to cut Muriel's head off. Gretel, Hansel, Ben and Edward then travel the world hunting witches.
