Toni is a cheerful, obedient ten year-old Austrian boy who's afraid of thunderstorms. There's nothing unusual about that - lots of people are scared of lightning and thunder. But this is a particular problem for Toni because, you see, he is a goat boy. Every day he tends his father's prized herd of goats, all alone, high up on the mountain that towers over their small village.
One summer afternoon there's a terrible storm and Toni, mad with fear, abandons his herd and flees the mountain pasture. Three of his beloved goats are lost that day and his father is very angry, saying that Toni is no longer fit to be the family's goat boy.
Ashamed and fearful of losing his job, Toni is given one more chance to prove himself. But when the next thunderstorm hits, something miraculous happens.
Francesco is a poor little Italian boy who has no shoes. One day, while gazing into to the window of the smartest shoe shop in town, he sees a beautiful young girl smiling back at him. This is Francesca and he cannot forget her.
Winter comes and with it, the Grand Carnival in Milan. Francesco dresses as a brigand with hand me down shoes that are too big for him. But in a bid to impress Francesca, he swaps costumes with a red velvet prince with matching red leather shoes.
Mayhem follows and it seems Francesco will miss the Carnival fun altogether. Will he also lose his beloved Francesca?
