Hamelín ha sido invadida por una plaga de ratones. El alcalde, desesperado, contrata los servicios de un misterioso flautista para librarse de ellos. Sin embargo, las cosas no salen como él esperaba. ¿Volverá Hamelín a ser un lugar alegre donde vivir?

En 1284 la ciudad de Hamelín estaba infestada de ratas. Un buen día apareció un desconocido que ofreció sus servicios a los habitantes del pueblo. A cambio de una recompensa, él les libraría de todas las ratas, a lo que los aldeanos se comprometieron. Entonces el desconocido flautista empezó a tocar su flauta, y todas las ratas salieron de sus cubiles y agujeros y empezaron a caminar hacia donde la música sonaba. Cumplida su misión, el hombre volvió al pueblo a reclamar su recompensa, pero los aldeanos se negaron a pagarle y todo cambiará.
