About the Show:
A young Elf, just beginning to learn
Elf duties, is accompanied by two experienced Elves, who
take him to the Shoemaker’s Shop for his first assignment.
Here they find a scene of distress, as the Shoemaker is gone
to war, and his wife and daughter are in danger of losing
the shop for debt to the greedy Heckla if they cannot make
her a pair of shoes for the morrow. Late that night the
Elves make the shoes and return the next day to see their
success. But Heckla has intercepted the money to pay off
the debt and is about to take possession. Again the Elves
are obliged to come to the rescue to make it possible for
everybody to live happily ever after.
