The Rev. John Ashton, unmarried, has accepted a call in a village and. with his sister, gives a housewarming. Mary, a young member of his flock, notices during the party, a pair of worn slippers and decides to make him a new pair. Consequently all the village spinsters also make slippers: but those the parson's sister trades off for a bread mixer to an itinerant peddler, who innocently takes them around to the back doors through the community. Mary's slippers are the only ones the minister wears.
