A boy faces a lonely birthday as his mother leaves for New York to care for ill Aunt Alice. A cascade of surprises follows: a white package reveals a storybook, a pink box holds crayons, a hidden tool chest earns him hands on work, a violin and a silver watch bring joy, while Brida and Jenny provide gifts. Mama and Aunt Alice soon return, ending the quiet birthday ordeal.
