Suddenly, Norma realizes that her shopping bag is missing. “Oh no, my shoes are gone!” she cries sadly. Feyesper then springs into action. He helps his friend look around, but when all hope is gone, Norma discovers a mysterious red shoe on the floor. But a stranger wants to claim the shoe. Will someone get hurt in the confrontation?
