Det är inte lätt att vara fattig. Pojken Jack och hans mamma har inte ens pengar till mat. Så Jack går iväg för att sälja deras enda ko på marknaden. Men på vägen dit blir han stoppad av en konstig, klurig gubbe.

Blir Jack lurad när han säljer sin ko för några magiska bönor? Hans mamma verkar tycka det. Hon skäller på sin son och kastar ut bönorna genom fönstret. Men bönorna växer snabbt till världens högsta bönstjälk! Jack klättrar ivrigt uppför den. Då skulle han bli rik, för det hade ju gubben sagt. Ovan molnen hittar Jack inte bara guld, utan möter en väldigt stor person. Och får även veta vad som hände hans pappa för länge sedan.
