A young wild girl, Fanchon, lives in a forest with her eccentric grandmother who is suspected by the villagers of being a witch. The unkempt Fanchon suffers from her grandmother's sorceress reputation.

A year later the boy has fallen very ill and it is only the presence of the enchanting Fanchon that helps to restore his health.
