Jack arrives safely at the bottom of the vine, shows his mother the treasures and then above them they hear the coming of the giant. But when he steals the harp the giant awakens, follows him and would probably catch him but for the good fairy, who, standing at the top of the vine, trips the giant and makes him lose his footing. While the giant dozes Jack takes first one of his treasures and then another and carries them to the top of the vine, where he throws them down toward the earth. The giant comes on and then follows the familiar scenes in which the ogre calls for his bags of gold, his magic harp and the wonderful hen that lays the golden eggs. Before he can be served the giant is heard and Jack is hidden in the kettle. Upon arriving at the giant's castle Jack meets the ogre's wife, who towers majestically above him, and after some parley is invited in, on his plea of hunger. The next morning the vine not only covers the window, but reaches far above the top of the house out of sight in the clouds, and we see Jack start to climb upward. He takes them to his mother, and, of course, she is heart-broken and throws the beans out of the window. There was a time when the Kingdom of Cornwall lived in fear and trembling of the Black Prince Pendragon master of witches, giants and hobgoblins who. Jack meets the familiar figure of the butcher who bargains with him for the cow and finally Jack consents to part with the animal for the wonderful beans which will grow up overnight until they reach the sky. In the film’s prologue, The legend of Jack the Giant Killer is spelled out and we learn that the tale was born over a thousand years ago in Cornwall, England near Land’s End.
