The story
The inhabitants of Mother Goose Village celebrate the upcoming marriage of Tom Piper and Mary Contrary. The miserly and villainous Barnaby recruits two henchmen, dimwitted Gonzorgo and silent Roderigo, to throw Tom into the sea and steal Mary's sheep, depriving her of her means of support, to force her to marry Barnaby. Mary is unaware that she is the heiress to a fortune, but Barnaby is aware and wants it all for himself.
