Plot

Thousands of happy, colorful, good dwarfs come out of the houses singing a song when marching up the hill. They go inside and are making milk as sunshine in bottles. The dwarf rides a cart with crickets and sings a song and puts the bottles by the door and takes the scroll. Just then a gloomy, grim, dark goblin shoots the hat off the dwarf with a bow and arrow and the hat flies to a tree. Another arrow flies over the dwarf's head. The dwarf throws a bottle at the goblin and has sunshine on his back. The goblins sing a song when coming out. The goblin with sunshine on his back runs from the hatless dwarf who threw a bottle. Just then the owl makes sounds as the goblin buries his shirt in the ground and bangs on a gong. The goblins squirt water while the dwarf toots a horn. The dwarfs use bottles to make them fly at the goblins. The milk bottles fly everywhere. The vulture turns into a jay. The goblins run to their houses. The dwarfs on dragonflies drop bottles and make a fountain of water. The dwarfs run to a fountain waiting for the goblins. The goblin drinks its milk and the dwarfs and goblins start singing together.
