Synopsis for "I Found the Giant in the Sky!"

A homely professor finds some magic beans within the pages of an old edition of "Jack and the Beanstalk" and when he drops them, they sprout a vast growing vine. He gets entangled with it and shoots up into the sky where he sees a huge castle floating on a cloud. Inside he meets the giant, but he is not hostile. He goes out to the vine and uproots it so that no other mortals stumble upon his abode, and then he introduces the professor to a lonely beautiful young lady who also stumbled upon the magic beans years ago and she thinks the professor is handsome. (He's the only man she's ever seen) She offers to be his princess and they live happily ever after.
