That completes the roll call from A to Z.

All the W's are missing.

Where's Company W?

Those elves are helping the Shoemaker.

Shoemaker? What shoemaker?

The Shoemaker of the story The Shoemaker and the Elves.

You remember?

What?

That was 150 years ago.

Doesn't that Shoemaker know this is the 20th century?

Get them back.

And if you don't, I'm gonna mark them all A-W-O-L.

And remember...

...if you get in any trouble say the magic word:

Rumpelstiltskin.

Yes, sir. I'll remember.

Rumpelstiltskin. Rumpelstiltskin. Rumpelstiltskin.

Ha, ha, no, no.

No, I'm not in the market for any machinery.

Eh, my elves do all the work by hand.

And I don't have to pay them anything either.

Isn't that nice, hmm?

Ha, ha. Bye.

A strange elf.

Uh, what are you doing here?

I've been sent to take all the elves back.

What?

Uh, but how can I run my business without elves?

Hmm, that's easy.

Run it like the other manufacturers do.

Uh, but I don't know how the other manufacturers run their business.

What will I do?

Great Jehoshaphat.

Don't ever say that word again.

It changes we elves into mice.

Oh, I'm sorry.

- I'll never say Jehosha... ELF: No, don't say it.

Um, let's see now. What was that magic word?

Rumpel... Roompul... Irumpel...

[ELF SIGHS]

SHOEMAKER: Uh, but what about my business?

I'll help you before I take the elves.

[PHONE RINGING]

Yes?

Uh, mister who?

No, no. There's no Mr. Jehoshaphat here.

Now look what you've done.

I've just got to think of that magic word.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Jehoshaphat..."

Ha!

[PANTING]

[ELECTRICITY BUZZING]

I've just got to remember that word. A, P, Q, R.

"Rumpelmayor. Rumpelmeyer.

Rumpelritter. Rumpelstein."

Ah, here it is: "Rumpelstiltskin."

Suffering succotash.

Now, kitty, you stop interfering.

Ha, ha. Sorry to disappoint you, pussycat.

Oh, drat it.

Now, will somebody explain why the elves haven't returned yet?

But I want to stay in business.

How can I do it?

Business?

Well, let me explain it this way.

KING: A manufacturer who sticks to old equipment...

...cannot compete and must fail.

To survive, he must persuade people to risk savings in his business.

He can then buy new equipment, increase production...

...and show a profit.

And he keeps the profit.

Oh, no. That's what a lot of people think.

But he doesn't.

Out of profit, he must pay dividends to investors.

Profit must be put back into the business...

...to buy newer and better machinery.

Spend his profit on machinery?

Uh, when does it all end?

It never ends.

Constant replacement with the latest machinery...

...makes the industry more efficient.

Thus enabling it to pay higher wages and still make a profit.

This efficient operation also results...

...in more goods...

[HORNS HONKING]

...a better quality...

...and produces them at a lower cost to everyone.

By thunder, if that's the way it's done, I'll do it.

[HORNS HONKING]

Is that you again?

I came back to see how you were progressing.

[CHUCKLING] Oh, just wonderful.

Look at all the orders.

We've got 500 people working now.

And next month, we're expanding. Ha, ha.

The whole town's marching forward.

Boots, boots, boots...

Uh, which reminds me...

...I have to think of a name for our new line.

Ah! I've got it.

The Jehoshaphat boot.

Now what was that magic word?

Wimple-dimple? Wumple-dumple? Wipple-wapple? Rumpel-dapple?

Rumpel-dimple? Rumpel-rattle? Poompel-apple? Wumple-whittle?

Rumpel-little? Rumpelstiltskin!
