Max is invited to the home of his sweetheart for dinner, and as he dresses he finds that his shoes are scarcely all that they should be, so he decides to invest in a new pair. Slipping out of the house in a pair of carpet slippers, he makes his way to the nearest shoe store, and after considerable time, gets a pair of shoes which the shoemaker assures him are a perfect fit. Although they are a trifle tight, Max decides to accept them and proceeds on his way. Every step brings its quota of pain, and finally in desperation Max takes off the shoe that hurts the worst and ambles along in his stocking feet. Arriving at his sweetheart's house, he slips his shoe on, but suffers so much that it is necessary to take it off again. While at the dinner table, his sweetheart's pet dog runs off with it and Max is in a dilemma. Finally he fits a wine basket on his foot and gets along very favorably until the guests commence to dance. Just how Max accomplishes this stunt and how he regains possession of his shoe makes a most interesting film. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
