They are doing something they really shouldn't be doing, something dangerous. In folklore and mythology the quote has been used when referring to something unnatural or superstitious. It is a flashback to the era of witches dancing around a cauldron in the moonlight. Jack Nicholson immortalized the line in his portrayal of the Joker in the movie Batman.

That's just a catchy way of saying "you are about to get f%&ked up. Something bad is going to happen. Next time someone tells you that, just use an old cliche on them to confuse them. Something like "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

It means that they are involved in risky business which leads to some short term gain, but which will eventually become very dangerous.
