This classic retelling of the famous German legend follows the town of Hamelin, overrun by thousands of rats. When a mysterious stranger in colorful clothing offers to solve their problem for a fee, the desperate townspeople agree. After he magically leads all the rats away with his enchanted pipe, the mayor refuses to pay him. In revenge, the Pied Piper uses his music to lead the town's children away as well, teaching everyone a harsh lesson about the importance of keeping promises.
