Hildegarde, forced by her cruel stepmother Gretchen to do all the chores, pricks herself while spinning and tries to clean the bobbin only for it to fall down the well. Ordered to retrieve it, she jumps in and ends up in the land of Mother Hollie, who shakes her quilt to bring snow. Hildegarde is asked to shake it and accepts, and does well. After requesting to return home, she is rewarded with much gold. Gretchen presses her spoiled daughter Elaine to enter the well to become rich too. But she is not as strong or hardworking.
