Dern, a village headman, dreams of riches and power when a traveling trader spins him a tale. He jumps at an opportunity despite his father-in-laws warnings. Coming along for this ride is Jolson. It is nearing winter and he needs warm clothing if he is to continue his journey to Grace. There is none available locally, but with luck, and with a touch of suggestion, he will find some if he follows Dern long enough, much to Dern's regret.
