Rip Van Winkle, a lazy but good-natured man, lives with his wife Wilma and son in a village at the foot of the Catskill Mountains. One day, while helping a strange little man carry a keg, Rip is led deeper into the forest, where he meets a group of small men who are the keepers of the forest. They are serious and hardworking, unlike Rip. Despite being warned not to, Rip tastes a strange juice, which causes him to sleep for 20 years. When he wakes up, everything has changed, and he must come to terms with his past laziness and make amends with his family. With the help of friends and former playmates, Rip repairs his farm and becomes a changed man, finally reunited with his family.

The story teaches a lesson about the importance of hard work, responsibility, and not using goodness as an excuse for laziness.
