The Legend of Snow White

The second wife of Snow White's father turns out to not only be an evil, selfish, ambitious woman, but also one who dabbles in sorcery while her husband risks his life in the war. When Chrystel realizes that Snow White's nanny, Molly, wants to protect the girl from the cruel intentions of her stepmother, she makes her life impossible, finally dismissing her from the castle altogether.

After having been separated from Richard, Snow White tries to live happily in the castle. However, Chrystel, having since discovered that her beauty is now dwarfed by that of the girl, is put into such a state of anguish that she commissions a hunter named Samson to kill Snow White. The next day she enacts her evil plan by persuading Snow White to take a walk in the woods with him.

Snow White's stepmother is delighted, for she believes the hunter eliminated the girl once and for all. However, Snow White is actually wandering through the woods, trying desperately to understand why Chrystel would want her killed. Snow White is then befriended by a little squirrel, Piki, who leads her into a log cabin. Exhausted, Snow White enters the little house, eats some bread and naps.
