A full-length picture based on a book of the same name by Otfried Preussler. The little witch is a charming creature who misunderstood when an older colleague said to her that she has to become a "good" witch. The little witch understood it to mean that she is supposed to conjure the good and not to be good in conjuring the bad. The picture contains a number of humorous, dramatic and poetic situations that result from the misunderstanding.
