Greek mythology is the setting for this romp. A bumbling centaur smithy is charged with fixing Mercury's winged sandals. When Mercury demands that the smithy repair his damaged winged shoes, our friend has to try on the shoes, to the chagrin of his two duck companions. The lowly half-man/half-horse can't resist taking the shoes out for a test spin. Aspiring to be godlike, the centaur tries to emulate the winged flight of the vain, muscle-bound Mercury. When Mercury returns, he finds that his sandals are ruined! The angry god grabs the centaur and begins to beat him up in a wrestling match. However, Mercury's sandals kick Mercury out of the shoe shop and take up permanent residence with the centaur.
