Output (English): The story focuses on the Grimm brothers, Wilhelm Laurence Harvey and Jacob Karlheinz Bohm, and is biographical and fantastical at the same time. They are working to finish a history for a local Duke Oscar Homolka, though Wilhelm is more interested in collecting fairy tales and often spends their money to hear them from locals. Tales such as The Dancing Princess and The Cobbler and the Elves are integrated into the main plot. One of the tales is told as an experiment to three children in a book store to see if publishing a collection of fairytales has any merit. Another tale, The Singing Bone, is told by an old woman Martita Hunt in the forest who tells stories to children, while the uninvited Wilhelm secretly listens through an open window. The culmination of this tale involves a jeweled dragon and features the most involved usage of the films special effects. Wilhelm loses the manuscript of the Dukes family history while writing down this third story  he is supposed to be collecting additional information for the family history  and the brothers cannot meet their deadline. They are required to pay their rent, which was waived while they worked. As a result of wading through a stream in an effort to retrieve the manuscript which fell into the water after his briefcase broke open, Wilhelm becomes critically ill with potentially fatal pneumonia. He dreams that at night various fairytale characters come to him, begging him to name them before he dies. In the dream, Russ Tamblyn reprises his role as Tom Thumb from the 1958 film. Wilhelms fever breaks, and he recovers completely, continuing his own work while his brother publishes regular books, including a history of German grammar and a book on law. Jacob, shaken by his brothers experience, begins to collaborate on the fairy tales with Wilhelm. They are ultimately invited to receive honorary membership at the Berlin Royal Academy, which makes no mention of the tales in their invitation. Jacob prepares to make a speech deliberately insulting the Academy for snubbing Wilhelm. As their train pulls into the station, hordes of children arrive, chanting, We want a story! Wilhelm begins, Once upon a time, there were two brothers. The children cheer, and the film ends with a caption card that reads ...and they lived happily ever after.
