A whimsical, music-filled fairy tale romp where bumbling heroes try to save a widow and her daughter from an evil villain through schemes and slapstick comedy.

Ollie Dee and Stannie Dum try to borrow money from their employer, the toymaker, to pay off the mortgage on Mother Peep's shoe and keep it and Little Bo Peep from the clutches of the evil Barnaby. When that fails, they trick Barnaby, enraging him.
