STORY: Mother Goose and the Brothers Grimm have been in a competition for over 200 years and the friction between them doesn't seem to be abating.  The poor Big Bad Wolf is caught in the middle of all this feuding.  He has 12 cubs to feed and is working on the sly for both Mother Goose and The Brothers Grimm.  He is constantly falling asleep at the wrong times.  
The war is heating up so Mother Goose has been pretty cranky lately and her employees beg her to take a vacation.  She takes off to a beautiful island resort leaving Simple Simon in charge.  Simon lets the power go to his head and spends money like crazy and the Goose employees go on strike.  The only was Simon can bring them back to work and get the company out of the red is to agree to appear on a fairy tale TV special with the Brothers Grimm employees.
Unfortunately, the Brothers Grimm know Mother Goose is on vacation and plan to sabotage the Mother Goose presentation on the live, nationwide television broadcast, destroying Mother Goose, Inc., once and for all!! But Mother Goose hasn't run the number-one fairy tale company for 200 years by being foolish and finds a way to save her company and bring it back better than ever.
