Miss Primrose is intent on her Christmas preparations, although she has a nagging feeling she's forgotten something. Each of her pets endeavours to point out to her that the thing she has forgotten is the Christmas Tree. When Miss Primrose finally realises her problem, all the trees have been sold. She goes to bed disappointed, but during the night the antics of her pets solve the problem.
