An honest, hardworking shoemaker falls on such difficult times that he has only enough leather left to make a single pair of shoes. He cuts the leather out before going to bed, planning to stitch the shoes together in the morning. When he wakes up, a perfectly finished pair of shoes sits waiting on his workbench. The craftsmanship is entirely flawless, bringing a high price from a wealthy customer. With the new money, the shoemaker buys enough leather for two more pairs. The very next morning, those are also miraculously finished. This astonishing midnight mystery transforms the poor man's life, bringing him sudden wealth and success. Determined to discover who is helping him, the shoemaker and his wife stay awake and hide in the shadows of their workshop. They watch in complete wonder as two tiny, raggedly dressed elves arrive at the stroke of midnight, swiftly stitching and hammering the leather. Now, the couple must find a way to thank their magical helpers.
