The Skilful Huntsman tells the story of a young man who leaves home in search of his fortune. Trained first as a locksmith, he abandons his trade and learns the art of hunting, receiving in parting a remarkable air-gun that never misses its mark. Wandering through a vast forest, he comes upon three giants roasting an ox over a great fire. They speak of a princess imprisoned in a tower beyond a lake and of their desire to carry her off. The huntsman agrees to help them, but instead turns his skill against them.
