Everybody wishes for the happiness just outside their reach, without regard to the cost. One day, a pair of magical galoshes appear in the big city, which have the power to grant the wishes of anyone who wears them. The galoshes find their way to many wearers from all walks of life, who all learn an important lesson about being content with what they have.

Dreyer also filmed under the same title in 1922. All these fairy tale adaptations can be watched here on the site.
