Last you heard of Jack, he'd killed the giant and took the goose that lays the golden eggs. But that wasn't the end of the story. The giant's brother was steaming mad—and after Jack's hide. So Jack runs away from the Giant to North Carolina, where he set up a little home, happy as you please.

But a giant doesn't give up so easily. Lickety-split he was at Jack's doorstep. Jack hatches a plan to save his skin...but will he be a match for the giant?
