The shoemaker lives in a small cottage with his large family. Every day he toils away, making boots so his family can eat. The shoemaker’s sickly youngest son, Aron, often sits beside him. The doctor has warned the shoemaker that little Aron might not live long enough to see next summer.

The shoemaker longs to make more shoes to feed his family, but the cottage gets so dark, he must stop working before the sun goes down. One day the shoemaker and Aron spot something at the market–a beautiful oil lamp! Can the splendid lamp help the shoemaker–and save little Aron?

Koeyhan suutarin perheessa eletaan pitkaa talvea. Isa ahkeroi ikkunan aaressa tekemassa saappaita markkinoille myytavaksi. Hanen vierellaan istuu kuopus Arvi, joka ei kovan yskansa takia paase ulos.

Suuressa perheessa rahat riittavat hadin tuskin ruokaan, mutta isalla ja pojalla on unelma: tuvan kattoon on saatava kirkas lamppu. Markkinatorilta loeytyykin niin upea lamppu, etta naapuritalon isanta tahtoisi ostaa sen omakseen. Suutari ei kuitenkaan halua luovuttaa, silla yha sairaammaksi kayva Arvi tarvitsee lampun valoa jaksaakseen kesaan.
Raskaan talven jalkeen isa ja poika paasevat jalleen yhdessa ongelle auringonpaisteeseen.
