Three poor tailors made their living sewing coats for people in the nearby town -- which they had never visited. When they do decide to visit, riding on the back of a nanny-goat, they get into trouble for not having enough money to pay for their adventure and end up having to mend old coats to pay the townspeople back. But they then return to their sewing in order to save up money to go back again (on a much fast goat -- a billy goat!).
