$#%@$&! Shoe

On a snowy winter’s night, elves are helping a kindly old shoemaker by doing his work for him. However, since this is happening in a Tex Avery, it’s not quite the story of The Shoemaker and The Elves that you remember from childhood.

A zealous elf bashes his hand with a hammer. That brings about a not unexpected response. However, a nearby elf, with the utmost casualness, places a jar over the head of the other elf so children cannot hear the language not suitable for their ears.
