Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this version of the old fairy tale, the hard-working little men make their centennial visit to a tiny village. During that one night, they do all they can to help out the townsfolk. Among those assisted are a shoemaker and a toymaker. They also manage to capture a bank robber in a tar barrel. Later the wife of the tailor tries to catch one of the elves, but she fails and they disappear. Fortunately, they will return a hundred years hence.
