Rumpel-stiltzkin - Episode from the Classic Fairy Tales series.
[A strange little man helps the beautiful daughter of a humble miller to marry a king. The man teaches the girl to spin straw into gold to impress her husband, but for this she pays a terrible price - that of her first born child. Filled with remorse for her rash promise she begs the little man to save her child, he agrees that if she can guess his name, the child will be spared. The queen sends out royal spies to find the name, none are correct, but just as all looks lost a messenger returns who has heard the name Rumpelstiltzkin and the queen wins back her child. The little man is furious and stamps his foot so hard he disappears through the floor]
